Hi My 270 has a motor problem, I guess. All cables and Circuits were checked and found OK, Rocker switch changed. Tested to see whether power reaching motor, Motor block getting power, but motor not turning. When switched there is a constant hum from motor but not turning. Reed switch disengage – enabling the grinder not checked, the Capacitor not checked also need to check the windings of the stator itself at the motor terminal block. There is no burning smell. If all fails, I need to see a Norwalk specialist in London. Anyone know any contact details in London, U.K. please. Thank you Arum

Dear Arum, Has this unit been running for you previously? Get back to me regarding this answer and we can find a remedy for you. If this juicer has been fine up until now and you have run it personally then what changed was it moved etc. . I would use a torch (flash light) and look into the vent holes at the back side and see if the belt is attached. You could un plug the juicer and remove the front housing [feed tube etc.] then turn the blade or shaft by hand..use a towel on the blade .. see how easily the blade or shaft turns . . . If it spins very easily .maybe the belt is off at the rear of the machine . . . Let us know and we will help you out . . . ps . . . there is a service man somewhere in England . . . we can get hi number for you . . . paul

VERY trustworthy advice. Y’know, someone else who used to be a member of this forum had an e-mail address that included that domain. Interesting coincidence.

Wow, I have not been on this forum for a few months now, and I just opened this page. (Hmmmm, I am now “DEVELOPING” the ability to keep my mouth shut. LOL )) Muruga, good luck with your juicer. I am now going to float around and see what is going on in the world of dedicated Norwalk users.

This was purchased in December 1996 from Norwalk Company. We got all Gerson gears with us when attended training in Tijuana at that time. The machine since used daily for 2 years. Then put a side for few years. But always kept clean and used occasionally.

The machine is in spanking condition all stainless bits bright as ever, no corrosion. Motor turns freely and smoothly by hand. Belt in tact , Hydrlic mechanism perfect.

I have removed all outer coverings for checking except front cover which has the Grinder Block and incorporates a Reed switch behind I guess. I still did not get access to this part and did not get access to the motor capacitor underneath the motor. Removing the 3 sides given me access to motor block , all cables and switch etc. Checked continuity, earthing , and power to the motor.

The motor looks brand new no dust or dirt sparkling coils and windings. What stops turning is the mystery? No smells whatsoever.

I need to get to the front of the motor, bit tricky then check Reed switch, then get to the underneath check capacitor, the last is to check the stator windings. I have determined to get to the bottom of this Juicer to find the culprit part not allowing the armature to turn.

Norwalk should have pasted a wiring diagram behind their cover, this would have been a great help for trouble shooting. The GE half Hp motor wiring label and carling rocker switch wiring labels are good. Thanks to Carling and GE companies for their component bits used by Norwalk.

one of two things per your description -points in the back of the motor or the capacitor

Oh by the way if you call the shop Ill give you my contact across the pond.He is very good.
