Removal And Replacement: Gearmotor - Scotsman FME1204 User Manual

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Gearmotor

To Check the Motor:
1. Remove wires from terminals 1 and 2.
2. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity. If there
is none, replace the motor only. If there is
continuity but the motor will not start, check the
motor's start switch.
3. Remove motor end bell or motor stator. With
ohmmeter wires attached to 1 and 2 move
centrifugal switch actuator up and down to simulate
motor rotation. If the ohmmeter does not show any
change, replace the switch
or motor. If the ohmmeter
shows an open circuit,
replace the switch or
motor.

To Inspect the gear motor.
A) Remove the cap screws holding the gear motor
case halves together and pry the two cases apart.
B) To lift off the cover, lift up until you can feel
internal contact, then pull the cover towards the
output gear end, and then lift the cover (with drive
motor attached) up and away from the gear motor
case.
Note: The gearcase cover, output gear,
bearings and output shaft are a pressed
together assembly.
C) Inspect the oil gears and bearings. If there is
evidence of water in the oil (rusty metal, too much
oil, white oil) replace the oil and damaged parts.
The oil charge is 14 oz. Do not overfill.
Reassemble and bench test the gear motor, check
for oil leaks, noise, and amp draw.
