with the commutator. Check if there is gap between carbon brush and commutator. If there is gap between carbon brush and commutator, replace both carbon brushes.
ON/OFF Switch Check continuity across the switch
terminals. If there is no continuity, replace ON/OFF switch.
Thermal cut-out Check thermal cut-out continuity.
Note:
Continuity should be checked 1 hours
after removlng the plug from the socket.
lf there is no continuity, replace it.
