Happened to me a couple of times on a 1460, usually it was a loose wire on one of the limit switches. Good luck.

My 1460 just did the opposite,rotor speed would not decrease.One limit switch was sticking or the connection was not contacting.I had someone help by bumping the switch while I checked the connections with the machine not running. You don't dare turn it far without the rotor engaged but you can see if the speed adjustment motor will turn with the rotor off which is much safer. Should be a simple fix. You can get there either way from the top or the bottom but easier to see the switches from a short ladder from the bottom.

The switches are located up in the engine area. They are located to the right side of the rotor access door. The motor turns a 5020 chain located in front of the vari-speed pulley. Jack
