just today, I have started having an issue with my dewalt 611 not spinning. The light turns on but doesn’t spin./ A google search came up with a post which recommended taking the cap off and cleaning the dust out. This got it to work a few times. It wouldn’t start again, and I was able to repeat this clean process a few times to get it to work. But now, it doesn’t want to start, no matter what. The top is very clean. I used a small hex tool to clean out the under side, which was also full of dust, but no luck. Should I completely disassemble it? When it did work, It would spark up near the top of the motor.
The dewalt 611 was bought with my x-carve package from Inventables, i case this means anything in terms of warranty. It’s been about 6 months since I bought it.
do you have any pictures of what the brushes look like?
I was able to take it apart completely, and got a bunch more gunky dust out. It does start some more than before, but still not normal, and still sparking at the top of the motor.
