I have a machine with an electric motor in it. We asked a bit too much

It can be turned manually with ease.

Has something likely burned out within?
Is a repair likely? If so am I looking at a rewinding company?

Any input appreciated.

It would sound like the windings or bushings are burnt out - I would
think a re-windng company could tell you if it's the windings.


I'll give these guys a try.

Anyone any idea of potential cost?


Probably should add, it's about 5 amp, 0.6hp.
