Behmor losing power after first crack
Hi there. Been roasting for over 20 years, 6plus on a Behmor 2000AB. The last couple of roasts 1lb P5 drum speed high, the machine starts cutting out shortly after I press the C button. The light turns off, the drum stops and then it turns back on and it pretty much flickers until I press cool. I’ve tried reducing temp to P3 and P1 in case it’s too hot (nothing seems to be unusual) and no dice. Today I noticed the drum stopping a couple of times even in the cooldown.
It’s a really hot day so maybe it’s because of all the a/c units running but wouldn’t I have this issue even earlier? I did a big clean on it today hoping it was just dirty but no dice. So before I go to Behmor I thought I’d ask here first. And thanks!
