Problem(s)
Possible Cause(s)
Suggested Solution(s)
Motor will
not start. Or
There is a blown
fuse or open circuit
breaker.
Test for voltage at the fuse or circuit breaker. Also
see if the voltage/amp rating of the fuse or circuit
breaker is correct for the motor. It should exceed
the Motor’s FLC by 25 percent.
Motor starter
overload activated.
Let cool and then reset overloads. Test the starter
before starting motor again.
The thermal switch
is open.
Reset the thermal switch, but beware as the motor
may automatically start when reset.
Low or no voltage
reaching motor.
Check each motor terminal’s voltage. The
voltage should be within 10% of the voltage on
the motor’s nameplate. Disconnect the load and
apply power to the motor. If the motor operates
normally, then the issue is with the load
attached to the motor. Should the motor still
not work, have it serviced or replaced by a
qualified technician.
Power enters
control circuit but
does not reach the
motor.
1. Begin by confirming all contacts are clean and
tight. Examine for obvious damage.
2. Test each part of the circuit for power until the
problem area is discovered.
3. Have a qualified service technician repair or
replace the circuit.
