The only reason for not doing it is that I don't have any spare working motors and I don't want to risk wrecking a good one (just in case my calculations/repairs turn out to be nonsense!) <br /><br />The constant running motor that you have is a clear sign that your main power board has failed. In my experience, a failed board will either not work at all or will run the motor constantly. Also in my experience, the constant running board in this scenario appears to be shorted out ie: the PWM circuit for the motor is not working. This means that a constant rather than pulsed 240v is going straight to the motor from the transformer. Once again in my experience, running the motor for too long in this scenario will completely wreck the motor. My advice to you is to avoid running the motor at all until you've repaired the board. As to that, I do have a small supply of the parts which comprise the PWM circuit on the power board. I'll do a separate post about that and then if you fancy taking a punt at doing your own repair, drop me a line and I'll sell you a set for £20.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />D Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501762928294586925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817564338518067340.post-35532269685210871232013-01-05T22:51:17.375+00:002013-01-05T22:51:17.375+00:00HI Dave. have you had any progress on fixing the p...HI Dave. have you had any progress on fixing the power board. I had a short cct moter which when i replaced it now runs as soon as power is turned on, this is with the power board connected to power and nothing else connected. have not yet found replacement board or components to fix the board. Any suggestions appreciated<br />ArthurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817564338518067340.post-85894310083350608492012-07-31T21:38:25.320+01:002012-07-31T21:38:25.320+01:00Update: Typically, only half the components I'...Update: Typically, only half the components I've ordered have arrived. This means my repair is on hold (again). I've been assured that the missing parts are on their way. Fingers crossed...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501762928294586925noreply@blogger.com
