Trouble

Machine will not start/restart or repeatedly trips circuit breaker or blows fuses.

Probable Cause

Remedy

 

 

 

If you have access to a voltmeter, you

 

can separate a starter failure from a

 

motor failure by first, verifying

 

incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and

 

second, checking the voltage

Motor starter failure.

between starter and motor at 220+/-

20. If incoming voltage is incorrect,

 

 

you have a power supply problem. If

 

voltage between starter and motor is

 

incorrect, you have a starter problem.

 

If voltage between starter and motor

 

is correct, you have a motor problem.

 

 

 

If electric motor is suspect, you have

 

two options: Have a qualified

Motor failure.

electrician test the motor for function

or remove the motor and take it to a

 

 

qualified electric motor repair shop

 

and have it tested.

 

 

 

Double check to confirm all electrical

 

connections are correct and properly

 

tight. The electrical connections other

 

than the motor are pre-assembled

and tested at the factory. Therefore,

the motor connections should be

 

 

double checked as the highest

 

probability for error. If problems

 

persist, double check the factory

 

wiring.

 

 

 

If the on/off switch is suspect, you

 

have two options: Have a qualified

On/off switch failure.

electrician test the switch for function,

or purchase a new on/off switch and

 

 

establish if that was the problem on

 

changeout.
