Looking for a clock motor labeled "WB 140". Motor goes in an old Maytag
gas range and it obviously powers the mechanical clock. Motor is 110
volt,
60 hertz, 2.5 watt.
I've been told that this motor was discountined in 1968. I went to the
local
electric shop (that's been in business forever) and he actually had
one, but
it was a pull and it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.


Is the coil burned out? I rewound one for my old dryer timer and it's been
working well, could be that the grease is all gummed up, also may be
fixable.

Most common problem is gummed up lubrication. If it's similar to those
I've seen, they can be disassembled (though it's not pretty), oiled, and
good for another 10 years.
