Re: creda T620CW

Well the Relay may be your problem but so too the Capacitor? Is there no power down to the motor then? Motor just humming maybe? 😕

motor just humming!so tried to hand start by turning drum but did not work.

Re: creda T620CW

usually its the cap though a good push by hand will let start running, check for 240 at motor, if its there must be a motor winding?

If you just un-hook the belt will it not start then? 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time its just the capacitor. 😀

Had one the other day that would not start by giving the drum a push ……but a new capacitor solved the problem!

Re: creda T620CW

If the capacitor is open circuit or low capacitance then the symptom would be that the drum will start with a push, however if the capacitor is short circuit then the motor will simply lock up…
