Looks like there is a mechanism error in the body of the santa. Possible on the part of the cable that is not installed correctly.

SOURCE: My life size Santa stopped dancing. How do I fix?

The motor inside the body might be dead , or the main circuit board is hardly fused out and might be tempered. Gently pull off his head - there is a large dial that you turn to unlock him into the standing position.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Santa Won't Stand Up

  • 1)
  • Check for pins under Santa's feet. Animated Santas often ship with pins to keep the package compact.
  • 2)
  • Push down quickly and firmly on Santa's shoulders. As you lift your hands, he should stand up. The pressure downward causes a mechanism to release that keeps the figure compact.
  • 3) Put your hands under his shoulders and lift him until you hear and feel Santa lock into position. He should now be standing firmly and ready to take on the Holiday Season.
Santa Won't Collapse
  • 4) Make sure you are pushing evenly on Santa's shoulders. He is designed to collapse under firm, even pressure. He should be ready to store until next season.
  • 5) Put your hands under his shoulders and make sure he is standing up all the way. Try to collapse him again with a firm, even pressure on both shoulders.
  • 6) Look at the base. Some Gemmy figures have a lever or button that must be stepped on at the same time the shoulders are being pushed.
Santa's Sensors Don't Work
  • 7) Look for Santa's sensor. It is most likely located on the front side of the base or on his face somewhere. The sensors are activated by shadows.
  • 8) Make sure that his sensor is not obstructed by a piece of dirt or even a bit of his costume. Sometimes the most frustrating problems are the result of the simplest causes. That is why it is best to look at the little things first.
  • 9) Wipe away any obstructions. Now Santa should respond to light and shadow.
Not all Santa's Features are Working
  • 10) Think about Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation struggling to turn on his Christmas lights display, and make sure Santa is plugged in. This is the number one reason why electronic gizmos don't work. Save yourself hours and make sure he really does have the power you think he does.
  • 11) Check that Santa's costume is not wrapped around the moving parts of his body. Costumes that are tangled in the mechanism can restrict his movement.
  • 12) Detach the head if he has power and is still not working. Many controls, toggles and sensors are located In the area under his head.
  • 13) Tap down on Santa's head firmly as you reattach it to make sure that all the connections are seated properly. Hopefully this will solve the problem. If he is still not functioning properly you may have an issue with the power that he is receiving through the power cord. Take the adapter to have it tested at a local electronics store if you suspect that Santa is having a power issue.
  • 14) Return Santa to the store for a refund or exchange if you are sure all the connections are made and the power supply is fine and he is still not functioning properly.

Singing dancing Santa won't stop dancing

My neighbor just gave me 1 of these... needed the adapter... 4.5 Volt 800 mA and be sure to get one where you can reverse the polarity if necessary. (polarity is: + ---O---- - ) I had to do some "modifications" to the base as my adapter had an "L" base & wasn't long enough - straight adapter would have been better... Santa wouldn't stop singing/dancing- hmmm. Cleaned the motion sensor lens and then had to cover the modification hole in the base to completely darken the interior of the base. Viola now the motion sensor works... is driving the dog crazy!!
