When’s the Right Time to Repair Your Motors?

It’s not always apparent when your electric motor needs repair. Other than the obvious signs of an appliance or machine not functioning, there are other ways to tell when it’s time to get your electric motor looked at.

• Sound
  • No electric motor should be making too much noise. If you notice your motor running more loudly than usual, it may need fixing. Sounds like grinding or scraping can mean poor shaft alignment or a damaged bearing.
• Heat
  • An electric motor always runs at a cool temperature. In some cases of overuse, it may run hot, but otherwise should remain cooler. If a motor is running hot all the time, it can mean parts have worn out and are causing too much friction.
• Energy
  • If you begin to see an increase in power usage from a piece of machinery, it may mean an electric motor is attempting to run harder than it should. Not only does this risk motor failure, but can lead to higher energy bills, drained batteries or an electrical overload.
• Age
  • Simply put, if a motor has become too old, it will no longer run properly. In this scenario you may think replacement is the best option. However, an easier fix may be to replace the most warn out parts of a motor first.
