Michael Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Was cutting a load of keys, made a funny noise, now won't run. I can hear an electrical hum when I press the button for brushing or move the carriage up as if I was cutting a key but the motor isn't turning! I can move the motor by hand using the blade so its not seized and the two fuses in the back where the plug goes in are fine. Anyone any ideas please?

mathews Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Try to give it a bump start from the brush. If it comes to life then it's the capacitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works, so which capacitor would it be? Or is that what the big condenser is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 You need one of these. Mounted under the base plate. Easy enough job to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I will have a spare for next time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
