There is a green light, why is it there for?
It's always on, is it supposed to be like that ?

its on when its in the full open or full closed position. its to keep you from holding the button down too long and burning out the motor.

Don't worry about it. It will break and not move at all. I had one of the new MPP2 and it lasted a whole week. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Sounds like the dowel that has the full open and full closed positions is loose. i had the same thing happen. I held the button too long and it put the lighting out of sync with the valve.

All you do to fix it is fully close the cutout and rotate the position dowel till it sits in the right place. There is a single allen bolt that hold the dowel rod to the valve. Tighten that sucker down when you get it lined up proerly. I got it good and snug and it hasn't come loose since.
