Hi all
If anyone can help I would be very grateful, I have done the following...
Dehaired the brush
Then dismantled the brush head, cleaned (took all plastic parts apart and took the motor unit out)
Removed leads from motor and tested the cables continuity from connection at the extension tube to disconnected wire ends in motor housing
Reassembled
Then tested voltage at end of extension tube with motor running (it was around 22v)
Then connected head to a bench power supply (22v) and the motor spins fine
Tested the articulating connected at different angles and the motor still runs OK while connected to bench power supply
Connected the head to the extension tube motor does not turn or even briefly attempt to turn even whilst operating the unit and wiggling the connection
I therefore assume that the male/female connectors are at fault. Is this a reasonable assumption and if so are they serviceable, what is the best way to fix? I can only think of trying to slightly tighten by crimping the female connectors if I was able to get access to them or stuffing some aluminium foil in the female connector to bridge a possible gap.
What do you think?
Thanks
Lawrence
