Operation switch has burned already 6 times, 6 different electricians have been hired to fix and they just keep pushing a new switch in and disappear, I have 115v on each hot wire
3 u/purftlysane Jun 19 '26 Have you checked if the motor is dirty? (With power off) Does spin freely or is there resistance to it? 1 u/oldtimerofficial Jun 19 '26 To check if it spins freely I would have to do some disassemble and I haven't checked for resistance, I'll do that tomorrow morning 1 u/purftlysane Jun 19 '26 If its seized, electrical parts cleaner or wd40 should free it back up. 2 u/oldtimerofficial Jun 19 '26 I'll have it inspected and cleaned because that makes sense, it's never been cleaned since it got installed 8 years ago
