bought a new feeder (30 gallon wild game innovations) a couple of weeks ago and put it out. Went back to check it yesterday and there was no corn on the spinner below the funnel when I walked up. I knew it couldn't be empty so I hit the side of the feeder and sure enough corn fell out. Ran it through a few test cycles and it fed sporadically then would jam up again. The corn didn't seem to be wet at all so I don't think it was moisture causing it...any ideas??

Sounds like you may have some dirty corn. Probably a piece of stalk or cob clogging it up.

Either your battery is too weak, or the spinner plate is too close to the funnel.

I agree that you have either some dirty corn with some debris inside or like stated the spinner is to close and not allowing the corn to feed correctly. Unplug the battery (very important) and run you finger up into the chute and see of you feel a stick or a husk that may be blocking it. It is either that or pour the corn out into another bucket and check it. Don't discount moisture either. The corn on top may feel dry but the inside of the feeder may have some moisture build up from the warm days and cool nights.

I had one new out of the box (same brand you have). It would say JAM everytime it tried to run. Disconnected the battery for a few minutes and it started working

I'll check the corn for debris or moisture down deeper. It's actually jamming up above funnel shoot so maybe theres just some trash clogging it up. I tried a adjusting the spinner plate and had the same results.

That's exactly why I won't buy ANYTHING from Wildgame Innovations. Their whole market focus is trying to sell the cheapest crap in every category - cameras, feeders, rangefinders, crossbows, etc.

Plus they seem like a bunch of jerks on their TV show.
