Re: G22E motor/controller
I cleaned the area with a soft brush and compressed air. Can see some wear where the brushes touch.

Re: G22E motor/controller
That armature needs work! Take it to a motor house and have it turned. It shows lots of damage from worn / stuck brushes. It should be smooth and shiny not all pitted. You can see copper shorting between bars too.

Re: G22E motor/controller
Thanks, I noticed that and was wondering if I could use a pick to clean it out. I like your idea better...Jim

Re: G22E motor/controller
It looks to me like it will clean up ok with a turning on a lathe. Shouldn't cost you much since it's already out of the motor. Find a place that rebuilds electric motors.

Re: G22E motor/controller
Thanks. There is a local shop that fixed a slideout motor on my old 5th wheel years ago...Jim

Re: G22E motor/controller
Turns out it is shorted. Need to find a new one. They tested it when I was there and said maybe the carbon build up was causing the short. Called me on my way home and said they cleaned it and still shorted...Jim

Re: G22E motor/controller
It was probably severely overheated and shorted internally. I would go with an upgraded motor like a D&D. The stock motors will overheat much more easily than some of the upgraded ones. You did the right thing taking it to a motor house that knew how to test the armature for shorts. (Probably used a "Growler") Those have been around since the dark ages for testing shorted armatures.

Re: G22E motor/controller
Yeah, looked like an analog meter with a crank on the bottom of it. Looking at options now. He said I may be able to find a good, used piece online. Jim
