Worth repairing Worx drill?

bettz1 · 11 Feb 2021

My worx wx390 drill has stopped working.

Had it about 5 years and only used a handful of times but noticed there was what looked like oil leaking when it was left inside the case.

Opened it up and got a multi meter tested the battery and trigger all working fine so is it the motor? When the triggers pressed the light comes on and the drill tried to turn like it's stuttering.

Worth repairing?

Think I can get the motor from China for about £25

Ive got a few other drills just hate wasting stuff and the fact I've only used it a handful of times is the annoying thing it's well out it's warranty though.

Is that electric? There is a Guild drill currently on offer at Argos for £23.95.

It's more likely to be the speed controller, the maroon and grey object, than the motor.

I do remember it smoking once when I was trying to drill through mortar tbh it hasn't been the most powerful drill
