Thank you so much for the reset information. I was about to post my littermaid on Craigslist for free since it wouldn't work. I decided to google the problem before I listed it and I came across this forum. I pushed the reset button and it's working perfectly. You are awesome.

I have the same problem other people are noting, the rake/motor stopped just shy of dumping. I took the whole thing apart, removed the old batteries, unplugged the AC power, cleaned the tracks (they weren't bad) and hit the reset button 7 times. I put it back together, plugged it in...and nothing happened. So I unplugged it and tried the reset again. I ended up doing this 4 different times and the rake is still stuck in the same place. The unit is powered, the green light and clock come up when I turn it on.

Any ideas?

Problem solved!

The rest button didn't work for me, but I figured out the problem. After much taking apart and frustration, I found that the motor had disconnected itself from the power source. I have the Elite Mega and the motor is powered by a ribbon cord. The cord had become stuck on a plastic piece and end of the ribbon cord that plugs into the motor had disconnected.

To fix this, you need to unscrew the motor from the little white plastic connector that attaches it to the track. Then unscrew the track itself. Take the motor and track out of the machine and plug into the disconnected cord. The cord just fits into an opening on the plastic, white attachment.

Nothing in particular appears to hold it in, so I anticipate having this problem again at some point. but seeing as I've only had my box for 6 weeks, I'm glad it didn't die on me.

Hope that helps someone else!

Hi,

I just purchased a new LM700 unit. The motor makes a noise as it moves back upon powerup but will not sweep forward. I have checked the switch, and clicked them serveral times and can't seem to reset the unit. Does anyone have reset instructions specifically for this unit?

Thanks,
Greg

thank you! you just saved me $100! I really felt like this was not going to work, but my red light was on, and then I clicked on the ends of each track (seven or more times each), turned the unit off/on, and then Whammo! I got that wonderful sound again. :D
