I just worked on one last week with a similar problem. After I replaced the broken arm, it would only load half way then shut down. The problem was: I did not install the pressure roller tension spring properly under the plastic holddown bracket. The plastic holddown bracket I am talking about also holds down the previous broken arm. Hope this helps. Jose' Reyes @ Kwik Fix TV 619 Pondella Rd. N. Ft.
