It randomly starts working again after 5mins-5days. I usually use it manually till it decides to come back online. The last time this happened I was bringing it back up and something snapped while pumping it up, now it there is no pump action. I didn't get into it cause it wasn't the time or place for any of that. It was close enough to fold up and shut the door but I gotta get back to it eventually.
This happen to anyone else? Is this a replaceable part inside the lift? What should I be searching for? The electrical bug would be nice to fix but as long as I have a guaranteed way of lifting/ lowering loads its fine.
Thanks.

I haven't disassembled mine as it has worked flawlessly for me, but will be removing soon so i can put new 3/4 plywood under it. Youll want to take the cover off it and have a look around as to what snapped. It could be the control which is replaceable, could be a circuit inside. You also want to check the reservoir while your in there as they do leak a bit. Mines a ricon that has some special hydraulic (texeco 3 or some aircraft) fluid im going to change out to Dexron 3 when i have it out.
That said, i have seen a few people sell them for $200 or so, but mostly i see them scrapped in peoples builds. If your willing to wait or drive, i bet an alert on Facebook groups would get you a working unit you can swap in.
