The stereo won't turn on
Everything seems to be alright, but it still won't turn on.
Check the power cable
It goes without saying that before you do anything, you should make sure the device is plugged in before you use it. If there is still a problem, inspect the power cord for any visible weaknesses. This may require you to open the back of the device to see if the power cord connections are intact. Click here for a guide on how to replace the power cable.
I can't hear anything coming from my device
There is a distinct lack of noise from the speakers.
Line-in Switch
Make sure that the volume knob is turned up. After that, listen closely to the speakers. If there is no sound coming through, check the line-in switch. If no device is currently connected the switch should be in the "off" position.
Speaker Problems
There could be problems in the speakers themselves and they might need to be rewired or replaced completely.

Old or damaged Needle
If you suspect that the needle needs to be replaced, a manual repair is necessary.
Check out the repair guide for a how-to.
Failed Vibration Dampeners
The silicone green circular things you can see when you take off the turntable are there to dampen the vibration that can occur as the turntable spins. You may need to tighten or replace these silicone dampeners. Click here for a guide on how to access the silicone vibration dampeners.
The top lid won't stay open
The top lid will not lock in place even when it is fully open.
Bad hinge
The top is supported by a metal hinge joint that may be functioning improperly. Click herefor a guide on replacing the top hinge.
I can't play CD's
I put the CD in, but for some reason I can't play it.
Check CD orientation
Make sure the CD is inserted correctly (label side up).
Check the function setting
Check to see what the function on the device is set for. If it does happen to be set on the CD position. Eject the disk, check for scratches, and wipe it clean. Put the CD back inside and try again.
I can't play records
The record won't play/spin.
Check the needle covering
Check to see what the function on the device is set for. Make sure it is set for the "Phono" setting. Once confirmed, make sure the protective covering for the needle is removed.
Check the arm position
Move the arm to the right until you hear a click.
Band Functionality
The band inside the device may have stretched, snapped, or fell off. You will need to go inside the device in order to correct this. Click here for a guide on how to replace the turntable band.
Suspected Bad motor
In the event that you presume that the motor in your device is bad, manual repair will be necessary. Make sure that the trouble does lie in the motor however, some of the ways that you can check:
1.) Everything on the device lines up with standard operation of playing records. (Switches are in their correct position, device is set for "phono", etc.)
2.) The band inside the device is operational.
3.) The device lags when it starts to spin the record.
4.) The turntable does not keep constant speed.
5.) The record sometimes spins faster than it should. There is a significance difference in sound.

I am getting a crackle sound in the volume control knob Like it is not making a clean connection inside. What do you think?
Rodney A Lynam - Antwoord
If you’re still having this problem, try unplugging your record player and then turn the volume knob all around really quickly a bunch of times. It should clean out the grime on the contacts. I was having this problem and saw this solution on Lifehacker. It worked in my case!

I bought the CROSLEY REcord player from HSN enjoyed every moment when I either listened to my favorite CD/Record or Tape. Unfortunately for the last 8months or so, the whole system has stopped entertaining me. Can I send this to your Repair department for a physical check and see how you can fix this for me.
Your help and service is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Agnes.
