Anyone here good with electrical motor? More specificly gargde door motors? My mom has an old 1/2hp chamberlain motor and everytime you would press the button it would not move and hummmmmm stop and hummmm again. So I took it off the roof and  opener her up and everything looked fine. I jumped the motor straight to the input since I wanted to make sure the capacitor and circuity were fine. Same sound thing time but with only once. I took apart the motor i didnt see any damage, lubed her all up and still no movment. Any ideas? By the way she already got a brand new one so I'm trying to get it working just for shits and giggles! Thanks -Connor

Don't think so!

Just out of curiosity, is it a DC motor or AC motor? I'd assume DC, but you never know.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
