Microlen MC100 problem

(1/2) > >>

John Peachey:
Hi all,

My Microlene has developed a problem where it cuts out after a few minutes. Does anyone know whether there is anyone that could service repair it, or should I just bite the bullet and get a new Thor machine?

The machine has had a good few years of abuse.
Any help appreciated.

John

As I recall John, the motors in these have a thermal cutout built in so it could just be a case of cleaning it all out and blowing the motor through with an air line. If the air circulation it blocked the motor will overheat. If I lived near you I would happily have a look at it for you however I think this would not be an option.

I agree, first job is to take it apart and give it a good clean. If it still plays up after that then maybe look at motor bearings and brushes.

John Peachey:
Thanks Bill & Julian,

Many thanks for the quick replies.

I will take it apart when I have a spare moment and see what is what.

If at any point you’re in any doubt about reassembly, takes pictures as you go to refer to later!  ;)
