now go to the main board and check that for track or joint damage

There is nothing that I can see, all appears to be in good condition, no obvious damage.

you machine from the part listing seems to have a small DC module which is normally mounted in a plastic frame at the top

find this module and inpect the module for damage or bad solder joints

Thanks for the further reply Dave. I have pulled it out, one of the tracks is certainly “darker” than the others, though I was able to just rub that off. Nothing jumps out as obviously damaged or blown.

Here is a link for some images of it:

Any thoughts? Any suggestions on what I can test on the board to see if its got a fault?

Hi Dave, I have replaced the brushes, neither were worn right down to the end. I have just tried it again, but it still doesnt seem to be working. I had the motor out, nothing looked visibly damaged/broken/failed. The motor armature didnt appear to have any damage to it, and it all spun freely. Any ideas what I can try next? Can I test the motor or other areas with a multimeter in any way to fault find? You gave me some cracking advise on my DW last month, hoping for the same again! 😀

Dave, thanks for the reply. Plan on pulling the machine out tomorrow. Sorry for the dumb questions:
What unit of measurement am I testing on the heater terminals? ie Voltage, Amps, resistance?
What result (roughly) should I get if it does or doesnt work? I guess zero if it doesnt, and “something” if it does?
