ktzd_ Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hi! My wheel (speedball Artista) is making a strange scraping noise when I turn it on, it sounds kind of like a noisy fan. Is it possible the motor may have gotten wet? I’m guilty of not cleaning enough, and I’m worried the pan was too full and backed up somewhere. I cleaned everything super well, so I know it’s not actually something scraping underneath the wheel head. Everything runs smoothly despite this noise, but it’s quite loud and concerning :’( Anyone else had this issue? Thanks ! Kaïa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Does it sound like the bearing directly beneath the head, or inside where the drive mechanism is? You may have to take off the bottom plate and inspect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graybeard Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Make sure dried clay has not built up under the actual wheel platter on the splash plan. Learned that the hard way. Let us know what you find. Graybeard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
