20 Most Recent Thumper Mini Pro 2 Massager Questions & Answers

Did it ever restart? If your'e not aware, there is an overheat prevention that will shut down the unit after prolonged use.

if irf740 break and very hot how to fix

this fixya we dont sell products --need to notify the proper party for your request

I just decided to try to fix mine. There are all together 5 screws. The two on the handle are covered with plastic caps which can be pulled out by sticking a duct tape and pulling it up. The other three screws are in the thumper head and are covered with the purple violet rubber piece. I removed it with my fingers. There are also two plastic bolts in the head of the thumper opposite to the handle. I removed them by using a sharp knife to loosen them and pulled with pliers.
I purchased two thumpers over time and in both the switch failed. I see that the switch in the handle is linked with the underlying mechanical switch by a very thin plastic piece. What a miserable design. That piece broke off in both thumpers rendering them unusable.
Good luck. Artur

Not clear what you mean by faceplate. Please elaborate.

As far as I know (from my experiences with my 10-year-old model), all that is required is to allow the unit to cool off before attempting to restart. Perhaps the company has updated the electronics with addition of a thermistor. If so, it would require replacement (but I doubt this to be so)

Do you mean that it is the motor that is "humming", and you sense vibration in the pads? Perhaps it's only from dirty contacts on the switch (which can be cleaned easily). Otherwise, it means that the motor is either broken or not being allowed to function due to breakage of one of the links in the system. For that, you'll have to open the case & check.

Call the company. They are very good for replacement parts, if you plan on DIY: Otherwise, they discount a replacement unit.

Actually, you can remove the switch without opening the case, by simply carefully prying off the switch (which is actually a switch cover) and then pushing the retaining clips of the "real" switch itself until it comes out. Then inspect & clean, and see if that solves your problem. Another possible cause might be blown circuitry in the over-heat limiter.

Question is too vague. Sounds like it will be necessary to open the case (many threads on this site for how to open it----be sure to take off the "label/screw cover) and try to identify the source of the noise, which is probably in the geared case. Replacement parts are available from the company, which gives great service.

Atleast on model which I own (~6 yrs old), there is no need to take apart the case for switch removal. Simply pry the switch cover off (gently) and switch will then slide out for cleaning & evaluation.
