Can you test the motor alone. A shorted motor winding would be
a likely cause of fuse blowing.
Hey Sam,
Thanks for the response.
I disconneted the motor and slapped a meter across it and it reads 0.1
ohm across the motor terminals. Have I found the smoking gun?
What's a more normal motor reading?
What voltage is the motor supposed to run on? DC or AC?
DC...or at least rectified AC. The AC line comes onto the board and
hits a bridge rectifier. The circuit board components and motor leads
are all downstream of that. There isn't an enormous amount of
capacitance on the board.
