The first thing I would check is the air switch.  Let me know what you find.  Regards,  TRom

We checked the air switch - power is going into it but its not turning.  We thought it might be stuck but it's a sealed unit.  Thanks.

If the motor isn't turning over then several things could be the cause.  1) no power to the motor from the air switch. 2) a motor winding could be open, 3)  a impeller blade could have broken off and is blocking the impeller cage preventing the shaft from turning. Starting with number one that's what I would check first.  Does the motor hum when you push the air switch?  Have you looked fro a reset button on the motor?  Let us know,  Tom

HI Tom,  We will look for a reset button but I am sure we would have seen it already.  We took the motor out to have a look.  An electrician tested the power and he said it was 240 to earth zero to neutral and 240 when the motor is off.  There is definitely no sound coming from it.   I think we may just go for a replacement!!  Thanks anyway.
