Had a bit of a mishap today. cutting wires got caught inside the
wheelhead and disappeared. I attempted to get it out, but alas do not
possess dainty small hands. Then I realized that there were not onw but
two wires caught in there. It's kind of like finding the answer to
where all of the matching socks in the washing maching disappearing
to.I was concerned about wheel rotations problems so attempted to
unscred the sheild underneath. Fruitless, as it only reveals the motor
belt and the underneath of the wheel showed no opening for me to get at
the wire. So I managed to break off the wooden dowels attached to the
wires and left it at that. Was that sensible or is it going to turn
around and bite me in the ass later down the road.On a side note,I
couldn't remember for the life of me how to make a ratchet tool go in
reverse and spent some time intently staring at it until a mother of
three showed me.Where there's hope, there's a way! Kathryn in NC

I have a problem similar but not as unfixable. My dog has long black hair
and I find the wheel making unusually noises. On checking saw that black
hair was tightly wrapped around the lower spindle, also impossible for my
hands to get to even without the splash pan. Light bulb went off so my
first trial was to light a match and burn the hair away. I didn't like my
burned fingers from not being able to see it, took my torch and put that
underneath. That is tricky to as there is a lot of plastic on the top of
the base of the wheel, and you can't see under there either. So I just
trust to luck and if the noise goes away, figured I succeeded in removing
the hair.
