MOTOR TROUBLE GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to suggest common answers to electrical problems. The information is not all-inclusive and does not necessarily
apply in all cases. When unusual operating conditions, repetitive failures, or other problems occur, consult an electric motor service firm for
assistance.
TROUBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO
MOTOR 1. Blown Fuses. 1. Replace with time-delay fuses
FAILS or circuit breakers. Check for
TO START grounded winding.
2. Low voltage. 2. Use higher voltage tap on

rating against motor nameplate
current rating. Check motor load.
If motor has manual reset thermal
protector, check if tripped.
5. Motor may be overloaded. 5. Reduce load. Increase motor size.
