I put it in the best I could but it would not go in all the way in. I have tried it for several days at different tempratures. with a thermomitor in a bucket of cold water and it seams to freeze up even when on the minimum setting

[Junk Yard]

I will contact them about it

your old motor ?

Dave

No i have powered the new motor i just bought

[Junk Yard]

i have just tried powering it direct from main power. and nothing! no turning no sound

[Junk Yard]

i though i would test it on its own first. by wiring direct to 240v.

Which terminals are + and – ? or dose it not matter since it is AC?

[Junk Yard]

that is what I have done pulled the old pheli out, that in the new one you can see in the photo

[Junk Yard]

i have drilled round it and pull it out, however i can not get the new one to go in as it will only go in about 4″

It will come out, they are all replaceable but how easy or hard it is varies.

K.

But which end dose it come out? though the inside of the fridge (see photos) or other end where we dont know?

thats the only one i have seen thats not 230V

how are you going to stop the motor from turning all the time the unit is plugged in

you would need to find a switched feed

Dave

What do you think the switch voltage is? do you think it is reduced? if so then would a relay work; using the switch power and the main 230v power

[Junk Yard]

It goes though the wall of the fridge and will not pull out!

Can i not cut the blue bit of the new one and join it to the end of the old one (as seen in photos)

Also in the last photo, is a photo of the end of the pheli from the new one. what dose the round bit do?

From memory it was 40V. But I will check it again later on
Is the voltage the only differance in that one and the one I just bought from the “white goods” shop?

If its the voltage being an issue, then can i just find a 240v supply from the microwave somewhere ells? and wire the plug from the motor to it? (presuming that the rest of the microwave runs on 240v)

electrofix wrote: correct

did you check the coil of the old motor ?
is it open circuit

just trying to work out if its an electrical or mechanical problem

Dave

I dont understand how do you check the coil

[Junk Yard]

if my plug is putting out 40V and the motor is a 240V motor, then I guess it wont turn!

[Junk Yard]

electrofix wrote: ok
what arrived today , i assume a new motor , where did you obtain it from ? and did it give a voltage ?

you will never turn these by hand as its geared inside

Dave

well it would not turn when connected to the electric plug either

[Junk Yard]

electrofix wrote: if its 40v you have no real chance of getting a new motor

even if its 240v AC it may be difficult as these motors maybe common but the output shaft can change between models. I get round it by keeping used motors to allow me to strip them and swop the internal parts

suggest you measure the voltage again and see what you get

Dave

Before n=reading your post!

It arrived today and i tried it before, but it dose not turn! it dose not turn by hand or when it is connected to the electric plug
