Re: Screeching noise at the start of spin on GW609

I had a similar experience with my GW609AU, it turned out to be a cracked former on the stator. This allowed the iron laminations to rub on some of the magnets in the rotor. It sounds like it is almost time for a new stator.

If you don’t want to shell out the dollars you could try grinding off the high spots on the magnets with an angle grinder. Be very careful where the waste lands as it is magnetic and will stick to metal. My GW609 ran for another 6 months before the shaft seal gave way and flooded the stator and shaft bearings.
