seba123 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I have a problem with PF medium motors for my trains. I've used motors for my 8404 conversion and a small shunter (both with some gear down). Both ran perfectly for some time, but now when I switch them on I only hear a high "beepy" noise but nothing moves. I tried new batteries, got the motors out - nothing helps... Anyone experienced something similar? Do you think the motors are broken. Appreciate any help, thank you very much. Seba Quote
dundarach Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 My 4.5v motors whine on low power... Does the motor run without load - out of loco Can you connect battery to motor without ir Do have other motors to test with battery and ir Try and narrow down to which part isn't working :-) Quote
Duq Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Can you turn the motor by hand when you stick an axle in? We killed an M-motor last year at a show. On Saturday it had worked fine until it was switched off but on Sunday it was dead... Quote
seba123 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks guys for your advice. I can turn the motor by hand - but it does not run outside the motor, or if I just connect it to the battery box. The other PF-components work fine. Seems like the motor is dead. Ah well, let s get a new one... Quote
JopieK Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 just ask lego for a replacement I think... Quote
