Don't they teach you anything at college any more.
power off
cover off
unscrew and remove motor.
replace in reverse order.

Did you go to the same school as Noah?

 

[kevplumb]

yeah try having a walk in some of the colleges

more lead bashing than plumbing (waste of time)

If you dont known how to fit a synchron then you wont know that around 20% of the time its not the motor at fault on a 3 port but the little circuit board inside the head.
So synchron may not be the fault

A far more reliable repair is to change the motorhead complete.

Costs more but saves you going back time and again for the same fault.

Thanks guys! Your right.....too many weeks wasted lead bashing...too many weeks working with low carbon steel..not enough time spent on bread & butter work!!!!
