Slide Valve Actuator Troubleshooting Guide

Bad thermal switch 

Any of the reasons listed in “The mo-
tor will not move in either direction” 

Stripped gears inside the gear motor 
or the armature has come un-pressed 
from the armature shaft 

Replace the actuator. 

See above. 

Replace the actuator. 

The motor runs sporadically 
 

The  motor  runs  but  output 
shaft will not turn
