DMCP 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2018 So....noticed a noise when using motorized feed. This caused me to look at the motor. I see slight but noticeable movement of the motor. Not sure why the noise but it is associated. Also noticed some dark shavings, that I assume to be coming off of the rubber teeth. Any ideas? Do you see any movement on yours? TIA. 2004 Millie Quote DebMcP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norma H 72 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Make sure the mounting is secure and tight. I had my motor loosen up and nearly fall off the shaft one time. I make sure I check to make sure the rubber teeth are tight when I check all the nuts and bolts during complete cleaning maintenance times.

Worn brushes cause an erratic electrical connection and can make the motor sound different. They are easy to replace and easy to find. The shavings could also be graphite from the worn brushes. Look in your manual for where they are and how to replace them.
