<IMG_20160810_080121332.jpg> Got this sovereign shredder wondering if anybody prepared to help me fix it?
so far i pulled it a part physically checked to see if the motor would turn, and yes very very tight, normal ?
i noticed the adjuster broken through the side case common fault appaerntly , anyway reckon i can fix that somehow.
did some probing about with fluke dvm confirmed 240vac at back of plug (socket inside) did this because already checked fuse and the connector is a really bad fit and not sure making contact in the socket itself but all is ok there.
then i tried to short out the wires i removed from the stop start switch but nothing happened ? it is getting hard to explain now i think i need to post some pictures that is if anybody interested.?
thoughts ; it has a large capacitor , my theory here is vague at best but i recall some motors used cap for starting as they only 2 phase motor , i tried to sketch out cct dia but i am too thick to do that. also found a black box under the motor mount that i have absolutely no idea what it is ? thought at first owing to its position it was for factory testing, i think this item is not working as i believe i am a supply missing off oneside of switch , this is one of those power latching (hold on) switches, so the unit will not fire up on its own if power is cut or something?
OK gone on a bit here that this be digested a while and see if i am lucky.
