Ontime feeders\timers - 11/13/15 07:09 PM
I have an Ontime Elite model that is screwing up. This one has the digital clock. It keeps resetting the time. It has 3 times in the past 10 days. I called customer service and they said it could be a short in the clock or the battery compartment. They recommended I put a 9volt battery in it to see if it solves the problem which will indicate it was the battery compartment. The compartment holds 10 double A batteries. So I installed a 9 volt and it is working but the motor is certainly not throwing as fast as it was.
So I took a spare feeder and installed it about 50 yards from my main feeder as a backup. Not the best freaking time to start having feeder issues! Customer service said they are backed up 2 months before they could check the timer if I send it in. I have 2 old ontime timers so maybe I can scrape together one reliable one to replace the timer on the main feeder.
I don't think I will be buying their products again! Lifetime warranty......does that mean a lifetime to fix it?
