DCD-150 Fan / Motor Lubrication
Due to the strain caused by too thick of chocolate (or running with hard chocolate), DCD-150 motor,
gears and fans can incur noise. This generally is due to excessive heat caused by strain on motor
removing the lubricant too quickly. This is not generally covered under warranty as it falls into the
“abuse” category. We do make exceptions for high-volume Sagra Chocolate users (who also get free
warranty freight and extended warranties).
While this is a non-warrantied repair, it is a very easy solution for most customers. Please note any
damages caused by doing your own repairs is the customers responsibility. It is very important to:
- ONLY USE DIELECTRIC GREASE (
NOT WD-40 OR SILICONE SPRAY
). THIS IS USUALLY FOUND
IN THE ELECTRICAL SECTION OF HARDWARE STORES / FASTENAL. NOT USING DIELECTRIC
LUBRICANTS CAN DAMAGE YOUR ELECTRICAL FAN.
