    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.
