DW735 Quit

[Lonnie]

I was running a lot of boards through my planer and it quit running. I have power going back to the motor but nothing happens when I turn it on. No smoke but I had to push the boards through the planer when it quit. A motor problem?

I have seen this before and it is not an easy fix. It sounds like the field lead going to the brush holder. This is very tricky to test. You have to test voltage going across the field by pulling it halfway apart.

This happened to me. I took the brushes out and found a lot of fine dust. I used my shop vac to remove the dust, put the brushes back in, and fired it up. Works like it a champ. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

Saw this problem also, The clip from the brush sleve had broken off due to metal fatigue. New sleve recconnect wire from field and I was back in business.
