Awning Motor

<< < (3/11) > >>

ChadTower:

Can you define "motor" in your posts?  Is it limited to the actual AC motor or are you calling the whole device (AC motor, control board, etc) the "motor"?

If you got good power to the actual AC motor, isolated from the rest of the components of the device, and it still won't work, your issue is already settled.

What brand is this unit? Hopefully not a Chamberlain or Liftmaster as they are ---smurfs--- to deal with.

Ken, is there *anything* you don't know about fixing? :)

Ah, I see what you're looking for Chad.

I have not tried putting power to the motor by bypassing the control board yet.  I have had limited time with it so far.

I was calling the whole thing the motor.

So for future discussion I will use the following;

Motor Unit - for the whole thing

Motor - for the motor within the housing

controller board - for the electronics within the housing.

Pics will come tonight or tomorrow.

ChadTower:

That works better.  Task #1, if you can't see an immediate potential cause (like a burned area on the controller or dead fuse), would probably be to make sure the motor still works.

I would also recommend sticking a fork into the outlet you are using to ensure that you have power  ;)
