If you’ve found yourself in a pickle with a loose red wire connecting to your Behmor SR2020 drum spinner, you’re not alone. This common issue can halt your coffee roasting process, but fear not! We’ve got you covered on how to troubleshoot and fix it without breaking the bank on repairs or replacements.
First things first, safety comes first. Ensure the machine has cooled down before opening the side panel. Once that’s done, locate the loose red wire—the one responsible for powering the drum. If you’re unsure about identifying wires, consult your Behmor user manual or do a quick online search for color-coded coffee roaster wiring diagrams to familiarize yourself with the setup.
Now that you’ve found the culprit, it’s time to fix it! You have two options: soldering or clipping. If you have a soldering iron at hand, go ahead and heat up the loose wire end, applying new solder until securely connected. If not, you can clip the wire back into place temporarily as a short-term solution. Be cautious when doing this, as it might lead to the wire becoming damaged or frayed over time.
1. Always ensure your machine has cooled down before opening the side panel for safety. 2. Identify the loose red wire responsible for powering the drum spinner using color-coded coffee roaster wiring diagrams. 3. You can either soldering or clip the wire back into place, but a permanent solution would be to use a soldering iron and solder.
