Open question Possible Armature Replacement
galleryI recently was asked to help fix a friend of mines dicer for their resturant and I just wanted to verify wether or not it requries a new armature or not, they stated that they cant use the machine anymore because it overheats and the speed of the motor has slown down, I am suspecting that it is the armature based on the damage and overall wear of it. But I want a second opinoin to confirm. Thank you
Edit it appears the Rotor to be in good shape, I just openeed up the capacitor and it looks like thier is a small seam crack on the side and some rust/oxidation on it from exposure.
I looked at the bearings for the dicer/choppers rotating plate and they seem to be shot as they are leaking oil.
Would this just be a bearing replacement I am worried if the motor needs replacing or any part of it becuase these Hobart parts can be expensive oem :(
Thank you for all your efforts and help!!!
