Before spending money on a new motor unplug machine and use a multimeter to check continuity of wiring from board to plug – tug all wires on motor plug to check none are loose. Check resistance through pins of motor and let us know what these are.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

Yes the old brushes were worn.

The motor armature did seem OK and not having a comm stick I cleaned it with electrical spray and a cloth.

I will open it again and check the wiring.
Unfortunatley I’m only an amature and dont own a multitester.

Is there any other advice you can offer while I’ve got the back off.

Thanks again,
