Jean-Claude Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I bought a new one 15 years ago to replace the old one when it dies. Well, it just happened. I was so happy to install the new one but then discovered the propeller doesn't turn at all, although the machine is warming up. Some one to help or to give me an electric sheme of the dryer so I could check wat's wrong? Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hard to say without looking, but something 15 years old and never used, the oil can get thick, or otherwise not work right. (Similar to old cameras that aren't used.) You might just help it along until it gets started, warms up, and works. Or a wire could be loose. Or a fuse or switch. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil got thick indeed, so it needed 10 minutes of continious rotating by hand to get the propeller finally get started. THANK YOU;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Naka Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The oil got thick indeed, so it needed 10 minutes of continious rotating by hand to get the propeller finally get started. THANK YOU;) It probably needs a relube. The old oil has dried and is providing little if any lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
