Description
Armature for the electric motor that converts electrical energy into rotation to drive the appliance. Replacing a worn armature can restore motor drive, reduce noise, and help resolve motor-start or power issues. What it does:
- Rotor assembly that creates the rotating magnetic field to turn the motor shaft — symptoms: motor won't start or stalls under load.
- Transfers torque to the motor shaft and works with brushes and the commutator — symptoms: reduced power or weak motor performance.
- Worn or damaged armatures can cause excessive vibration, unusual noise, or visible sparking at the commutator.
- Essential for restoring normal motor operation when the armature is the root cause of motor failure.
What's included: One armature. Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing and follow all safety precautions.
- Replacement typically requires motor removal and disassembly; inspect brushes, commutator, and bearings while servicing.
- Clean and test the commutator and replace brushes if worn to prevent repeat failure.
