1. Most circuit problems are due to incorrect assembly, always
double-check that your circuit exactly matches the drawing for it.
2. Be sure that parts with positive/negative markings are positioned
as per the drawing.
3. Be sure that all connections are securely snapped.
4. Try replacing the batteries.
5. If the motor spins but does not balance the fan, check that there
is a black plastic piece with three prongs on the motor shaft. In
case it is damaged or lost, a spare is included with your kit. Pry
the broken one off with a screwdriver and push the spare one on
the shaft.
ELENCO ® is not responsible for parts damaged due to incorrect wiring.
