Hornady Case Feeder No Power -- HELP!!

[Psychbiker]

I have no clue what is going on here. I've been loading 9mm for over a year and just switched everything out to 45.

I'm only de-capping/sizing at this point. I dumped in maybe 200 cases of 45 and things are fine. I de-cap about 50 or so. I had one clog with the case feeder but no problem. The case feeder is functioning fine.

I then adjust the feeder tube cuz they they were feeding right around the bracket area and now no power to the case feeder, wont turn on.

I took all the cases out and cant turn the gear by hand with the plate. I checked my outlet and have power.

I'm completely lost.

When you adjusted things, did you somehow jam up the micro switch that turns the motor on and off?

That was my first thought too, the switch kills the power to the motor when tripped.

The switch the brass trip to stop the case feeder? The tune was empty but I'll look around and see what I can find.

Yeah, that little switch is the only thing I can think of that would cause this to happen suddenly, unless the magic blue smoke got out of the wires somehow.
