Greetings all! I recently picked up two D4SEs that needed some TLC. Well, the first one didn't go all that easy, but she's up and running like a champ now.

This second one went much better--although it was MUCH dirtier inside! The bearings were very corroded as well. I ran the parts through the dishwasher twice and still had to soak the fans and motor housings in a bucket of Dawn water and scrub them with a brush. I replaced the bearings, switch, power cord, and gasket. It went back together OK though, and runs great now!

Time for another celebratory glass of wine, I think.

Cheers!
