If the basket lift motor is activating, but the basket lift fails to raise
or lower, or if its movement is erratic, the probable cause is
jamming or binding of the basket lift rod. Apply a light-weight

correct the problem, check for a bent or otherwise damaged rod and
link, and for a loose bellcrank.
