Dangerous Elevator Malfunction! Westinghouse Elevator Overshoots The Floor!

[Recorded 7-25-19] I'm not sure WHAT was going on here, but it is definitely red tag worthy!! This was supposed to be a normal elevator video, and all was going well until my second ride up. Somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd floor, the elevator decided to just stop really hard and open its doors. The car was completely over the floor. I'm surprised the door could even open and close properly being that unaligned. After that, the elevator traveled at leveling speed up to 3. Super weird experience. As for the elevator itself, this is a rare original 1966 Westinghouse AE! They should get that checked out before somebody gets hurt. I tried calling with the help phone in the lobby to report it but nobody answered and I didn't have time to wait. Let's just hope it's fixed by now...

Now That's a HUGE Epic Fail! The way that this elevator over levels that much, that's beyond 100% unsafe, like they need to fix their elevator!

@sali-ali 3 года назад

Hah, this is nothing, our elevator sometimes stops in between the floors, and we are jumping from the elevator :D I'll take a photo next time when it happens.

@ArmoredsoldierCZ 2 года назад

@@sali-ali If thats really the case, then its better just to take stairs than ride that elevator until repairs or reconstruction of the elevator.

@TEMPLE7D 7 месяцев назад

I remember when this used to happen in my old NYC apartment building in the early 2000s. Crazy part, the overshoot / undershoot would vary each time. Didn’t know what you were going to get. Occasionally the door opened to reveal a wall instead lmao.

@mauer594 3 года назад

That's a cool looking elevator, beautiful example of 1960s design by the looks of it.

@Fantech0104 4 года назад

Oof! That doesn't look pleasant at all! I wonder what caused the elevator to do that the second time you rode the elevator up? Hopefully some maintance will solve the problem.

@patricknedz 3 года назад

Maybe something with the door zone switch

@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada 4 года назад

Yeah this could use some serious maintenance! Not only that but the doors don't even stay open long enough for the average person to get in and out quickly.

@SeattleElevators 4 года назад

HOLY that is so bad. imagine being someone outside of the elevator watching that. welp thats a westy for you. sounds like the controler had an oof.

@FloridianElevators 4 года назад

As for this elevator, they better get it fixed before it ends up red tagged, and they better do so without modding it! Cause Westies are getting to be too rare!

@Photoelectric_Elevators 4 года назад

WOW. That’s bad! I remember when patricknedz found himself in a similar situation where It did not level with the floor. I also had that occasion once on a Schindler elevator and got stuck in the elevator. I did not film it when it happened because I was like 8 or 9 years old!

@GalaxyAkaMustard 3 года назад

wow same! I was like 8 years old too!

@patricknedz 3 года назад

That actually happened to me on more than one Westinghouse. One time it stopped and didn’t open and when I pressed open it wasn’t level, the other time was from 1958, it opened too early and was above the floor.

@Photoelectric_Elevators 3 года назад

@@patricknedz Yea I remember that video

@neaelevator 4 года назад

I was on a Haughton once that would do this on a slight occasion going from 1 to 2. Only it would start off leveling while the doors were open. It was a hotel in Memphis that was 20 floors and that was the only time it would do it from 1 to 2. It was very unsafe.

@itz_maya1223 2 года назад

My lift at my apartment had a dark past a man tied a rope in it and he ran out of the lift just before the doors shut.... and the lift went up a few floors and he hung himself BUT THE MOTOR WAS HAVING problems bc of his body being crushed AND SINCE TODAY the motor is slow and it rattles pretty badly today

@DougTrovinger 4 года назад

Did you see those doors? As soon as they opened, they closed right back up. No exit for you. You're going for a rideeeeee.

@LOVElevators 2 года назад

Geez that's a very strange malfunction. It definitely needs some serious maintenance done.

@Skivator 4 года назад

@JOOT49 4 года назад

@GalaxyAkaMustard 3 года назад

@TheTheo58 4 года назад

The elevator is not in good operating condition, lack of lubrication in the roller bearing in the door guide rollers, tracks bearings, other parts can cause malfunctions. As for overshooting on floor landing, doors suddenly closing, there is likely trouble with the controller and floor selector. I would 2nd having it red tagged till it is repaired and tested before put back into service.

@westinghouse14 Год назад

I see you have attracted a lot of non-elevator enthusiasts

@elevexplorer64 4 года назад

Are you saying people DON'T like tripping over the elevator and then getting crushed by the doors? (just kidding, that's not safe)

@patricknedz 3 года назад

I had a Westinghouse from 1958 do this a few times but it opened back up after.

@NWIndianaElevators 4 года назад

Now, that's a bad Westy that wants to show you what it can do to you on camera!

@TakoElevators 4 года назад

It looked like it was about to pre door when the epevator overshot.

@najatsallak270 4 года назад

Bro. The elevator closes in 1 second. Like just close in 3 seconds maybe. Btw how do I fix an elevator that keeps opening by its self cause the cursor thing fell. The janitor messes up the elevator so thet can clean it without the elevator breaking. Maybe give me some tips to fix it?

@cristalstratton5595 3 года назад

@sebastianzietara4018 3 года назад

I may perhaps not see the distance properly , but It appears to me to be within acceptable range on old elevator (levelling two inches)
