Troubleshooting

Remedy

1.  Check power at starter. Correct any bad connections between 

the control apparatus and the motor.

2.   Check starter contacts and control circuit. Reset overloads, 

close contacts, reset tripped switches or replace failed control 
switches.

3.   If power is not on all leads at starter make sure overload and 

short circuit devices are in proper condition.

Check motor and control connections against wiring diagrams.
Check nameplate voltage against power supply. Check voltage at 
motor terminals.
Check stator windings for open circuits.
Disconnect motor from load and check motor and Geareducer for 
cause of problem.
Look for broken bars or rings.
Stop motor and attempt to start it. Motor will not start if single-
phased. Check wiring, controls and motor.
Check motor connections against wiring diagram on motor.
Check lubrication. Replace bade bearings.
Check voltages and currents of all three lines. Correct if required.
Check and correct bracket fits or bearing.
Rebalance.
Reinstall or replace fan.
Check voltage and current of all three lines against nameplate 
values.
Check fan blade pitch. See Fan Service Manual. Check for drag in 
fan drive train as from damaged bearings.
Check nameplate against power supply. Check RPM of motor and 
gear ratio.
Remove grease reliefs. Run motor up to speed to purge excessive 
grease.
If not poor machining, replace worn bearing.
Change to proper lubricant. See motor manufacturer’s instruction.
Stop motor and attempt to start it. Motor will not start if single-
phased. Check wiring, controls and motor.
Clean motor and check ventilation openings. Allow ample ventila-
tion around motor.
Check with Ohmmeter
Straighten or replace shaft.
Remove plugs and regrease bearings.
Flush bearings and relubricate.

Replace bearings.
See Fan Service Manual for blade pitching instructions.
Check transformer and setting of taps. Use higher voltage on 
transformer terminals or reduce loads. Increase wire size or reduce 
inertia.
Look for cracks near the rings. A new rotor may be required. Have 
motor service man check motor.

Change any two of the three motor leads.

Cause

Power not available at motor terminals

Wrong connections
Low voltage

Open circuit in motor winding
Motor or fan drive stuck

Rotor defective
Motor running single-phase

Motor leads connected incorrectly
Ball bearings
Electrical unbalance
Air gap not uniform
Rotor unbalance
Cooling fan hitting guard
Wrong voltage or unbalanced voltage

Overload

Wrong motor RPM

Bearings overgreased

Rotor rubs stator bore
Wrong lubricant in bearings

One phase open

Poor ventilation

Winding fault
Bent motor shaft
Insufficient grease
Deterioration of or foreign material in grease
Bearings damaged
Incorrect fan blade pitch
Voltage too low at motor terminals because 
of line drop

Broken rotor bars

Wrong sequence of phases

Trouble

Motor Will Not Start

Unusual Motor Noise

Motor Runs Hot

Motor Does Not Come Up 
To Speed
