Just to let everyone know that upport replied and apparently during shipment the machine was damaged so the the motor is misaligned and that's the problem.

Now that I look at the rubber wheel when I raise the water tray the motor shaft is no longer touching the wheel so it just doesn't rotate I believe.
Heres a link for the inside when moving the water tray up and down:

A a link where it shows the rubber wheel stops making contact with the shaft when the water tray is being raised:

General Tormek Questions / Tormek T8 Water tray elevation makes noise and the makes the wheel stop
February 04, 2026, 05:32:08 PM
Hello everyone.
I got a new T8 custom and while sharpening for the first time I noticed when I turned on the machine the wheel wasn't rotating. As I lowered the water tray it started moving but a noise persisted. To my eye, the tray isn't rubbing on anything so I don't understand what is happening. I can't find anything similar anywhere.
Anyone can help?
