Eheim Auto Feeder Failure

[mmw64]

I have had this feeder for a few years but just decided to test it for a vacation feeder. It worked well for just under a month. I replaced the batteries that were new a month ago and it still doesn't dispense food. Has anyone had this experience? Are they just not reliable? I'm disappointed.

I used one for years and feel like I still would be had I not dropped it on a tile floor...ugh. Sorry you're having issues with yours.

I’ve used mine a couple years. I believe they are reliable in general. Did you try pressing the button to see if it works at all?

I did, nothing. I'm debating if I should purchase another.

Stinks it broke. I have been using 3 of them for maybe 5 years plus now and consider them top notch especially for the price. I guess some bad ones get out there, but ime they have been rock solid.

Double check make sure batteries are not in backwards, anything's possible., comrade

Thanks for all the replies. Probably will try another one.

batteries are probably in wrong or batteries are dead
