What you have there Tom is an induction motor and in an application like that they will plug up. They suck air through to cool to keep from overheating. 9 out of 10 times if you take it apart clean and oil the bearings it'll be fine. The only other thing would be if it burned a wire into.

ahh ok a "chicago" brand? I have a feeling the bearings froze up. You might get a replacement from them pretty cheap.

Go to Graingers and have them cross refrence it with a Dayton motor, it will last quite a bit longer!

I guess I'm lucky. All the motors in my spray cans seem to be working fine.

OK a couple of questions for ya.

Did you hook power to it while it was out and if so did it work then ?

If it worked while out then for some reason it's not getting power to it when installed. which means you'll have to check the wire from the motor back to the plug and if there's a switch check it. If you have a multi-meter check each wire to see if it's not broken or burned into.

If it didn't run while out, then it probably has a burned or broken wire in the motor. In that case you'll have to replace the motor.

Sounds like you need to take it back apart and finish cleaning it out. If it's not coming up to speed it's still bound up. The reason it is shutting off is the thermal protector in it. If it gets too hot it'll shut down and won't start again till it cools off. You might also try washing the bearings out w/ lacquer thinner till it spins free and re-oil them.

Go down to Home depot and pick up one of those Mexicans standing out side of the place, have him stand next to you with the fan in his hand till you finish your paint job. Then give him a sandwich and send him on his marry way.

I went down to GRAINGER and picked up one of those industrial floor dryers for a decent price. Been using it for years and never had a problem. I think you motor or the brushes might be out my brother. See you tomorrow night my Friend.
