Receiver shuts down after 5 to 10 minutes of operation
When the problem first started,I could tap it on top and the solenoid would trip turn it back on. Now it stays off for some time - perhaps because a faulty component needs to cool down to restore the circuit of which it is a part? Or not. This affects all inputs - not any particular one.

g'day,
sounds like the solenoids in the back aren't letting water in. The solenoids are what the hoses are hocked onto. They are like an electrical tap. These are not pumps, water is only pumped out of a washing machine. Some reasons why water is not coming in:
- Taps are not turned on (Keep it simple), turn taps on.
-Hot, or cold solenoids are not working. (Lets hope chances are only one has broken). Swap cycle options, try just hot, or just cold options. If one works and not the other, a solenoid is not working. just put either hot or cold on the solenoid that is working.
Note, some new machines only have one hose at the back, this is because they heat the water internally - like dishwashers. If this is the case, a new solenoid can be purchased and installed.
-Another reason might be that solenoids aren't getting power. This cold be because the trip switch in the door. A common problem. Think of the trip switch just like the light in the fridge. When door is opened, switch is opened. If u can test machine on spin cycle ie, the machine spins, then this is not the cause. Some appliances even have switches on soap draws so check that out aswell.
hope this helps
The best way to fully isolate the fault is to disconnect all the speaker wires, and verify that there are no strands of wire shorting between the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
Turn the volume all the way down, full CCW, and if it goes into shut down with theSTBY light blinking then there is a fault in one of the amplifier's.
Thank you for usingFixya, and if I can be of further assistance please ask.
It could be that the amp's overload protection circuit is being triggered by a
feedback loop or other problem, such as a shorted or bad cable
connection. Turn off the power and unplug the receiver. Look for
problems, starting with shorted speaker wires or cables. Then make sure
the receiver's not still hot (wait 5-10 minutes to let it cool), and
remove obstructions or anything blocking the top vents. Plug it back
in and power up again. Immediately change the Source selector to
something unconnected, and turn the Volume DOWN just in case there's a
feedback loop (hum/squeal/noise that can overload things and cause the
protection circuit to trip again). If you can see the display, go to a
low level (around -50dB should be fine) before the delayed speaker amp
output clicks on. Then carefully switch back to the problem source --
if that's the problem, switch off again immediately and re-check all of
the cable connections at both ends, the receiver and the source
component. Make sure you don't have a feedback loop due to a
recording device feeding back a signal. All VCRs and CD/DVD-recorders
should be hooked up to the VCR, DVR or TAPE/CD-R "IN/OUT" jacks with IN
being connected to the cables marked OUT on the deck and vice versa.
(That confuses even us experienced guys sometimes!) Also, no MONITOR
video or audio outputs should be connected to the recording decks, nor
should the TV outputs be fed back to the recorders. The same goes for
the digital IN/OUT jacks for CD recorders; use only the same number IN
as OUT for each component (For example, Optical IN/OUT #4 and #5 are the two digital
IN/OUT pairs on the Denon AVR-380X series.)
Hello,
If the breaker had tripped, you'd detect some looseness in the trip switch, even though it may not appear to be tripped. Once you have identified the correct breaker, trip it to OFF and then back to ON. Also check at the unit; it will either have a service disconnect, a fused disconnect or a circuit breaker at the wall. Compressor units have a thermal relay that causes them to shut down on high temperature. Let the unit cool down thoroughly. If this is the issue, and you are standing close enough, you may hear it reset when it cools. Usually, cool down occurs in 30 minutes or less. Try it again, but don't leave it unattended until it has made it through several cycles and you are confident that the unit is back to nornal. If any further issues develop from this incident, shut the unit down, trip the circuit breaker for the unit to off and call a serviceperson.
I hope this gets you going again!
You said Unit is enclosed!!
Does that mean it is inside something?
Receivers & Amps need to have a clearance above them so air can circulate, otherwise you'll have an overheating problem.
You also might have some of your wires crossed which will cause the Amp to shut down. Look at all your connections and make sure they're correct, including speaker wires.
