Good Evening All

Not too good with motors so was wondering if anyone could help me.
110v cement mixer, press on button, buzzing and no rotation. Tried moving via belt, moves no problem. Measured start capacitor and have nothing (though its not been used for some time). Any ideas?

Thanks!

Why 110v ? Are you in the UK ?

The start capacitor is likely to be faulty !

How did you test the capacitor? What method and what test equipment?

How many capacitors are there? Is there a centrifugal start switch on the motor? Whilst you were testing the cap did you test the continuity of the run and start windings?

Probably duff capacitor or siezed start/run switch. If it hasn't been used for a while probably wants a bit of an overhaul.

Why 110v ?

In the UK we use 110V for site tools and equipment especially outdoors.
