Thanks for your reply, Les. I will check it out. Any idea where I could find a motor? Thanks for your reply, Craig. |

If the breaker tripped, that leads me to believe it either has a shorted winding in the motor or perhaps the bearings are seizing up, either way causing the motor to draw too much current to operate. I suppose if the brushes are worn down to literally nothing, it might also trip the breaker.
First thing I would do is get access to the motor and turn it by hand to see if it turns easily. |
