I have a client's cublet (sonic ice style maker) and the motor that runs the gear motor assembly humms, draws excessive amps, and trips the breaker. Sadly the machine is out of warranty for four years now. The part is 2U0147-01 which includes the ENTIRE gear drive assembly. I am able to spin the motor and the gear assembly runs fine. I'm also able take the motor OUT and attempt to run it but it humms and draws excessive amps. All windings give readings. Also, all bearings spin freely. So I believe this is just a problem with the A/C motor.
I called Hoshizaki in hopes of finding information on just getting the motor such as the ohms for the windings. The motor I have doesn't have any specs written on it but I've learned from Hoshizaki that is was made by Kokusan Denkai Ltd and is referred to as manuf part # TC1185. It is a 120V 60 1.45 80W motor. They also told me they do not sell the motor and the part number is for the entire assembly.
A friend of mine is taking the motor to see about getting a price on getting it re-wound. I worry the motor will still hum and not run and this effort will be all for naught. The cost for the new gear drive exceeds the value of this machine and labor will make this higher.
I dislike not being able to fix a machine but the gear box price is excessive and I feel foolish buying an expensive part (the gear drive) when the existing part works. Any thoughts on getting just the motor?
