Front Blower Motor Brushes

Post by ADAMD » Mon Jun 15, 2009 5:54 pm

Hi

My front blower motor is sticking, and needs a flick to get it moving- could be the brushes? Anyone know where I can get them from.
thanks

More likely partially seized due to water overflowing into it. Strip it down, lubricate it well and ensure that the drain hole in the bulkhead is clear.

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Thanks for the help,
I have given it spin and it does feel a little tight.
Can anyone help with some pointers for removal of the blower
_ I cannot access the fact sheets.
Thanks

A quick flick through the threads in the links on the FAQ I linked you to threw up this one which should help - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 85#p252385
