[QUOTE="Rossy, post: 560153, member: 38336"] Hello Thank you for your helpful comments. Re: centrifugal switch I have checked the centrifugal switch and this appears to be working fine. It can be easily moved by hand and with the cover off and the motor in the ‘start’ position, the centrifugal switch opens up okay. Re: Overload device I think I have found (part of) the device, but it appears there may be some cabled at the back of the board (between the board and the back of the case). Attached are some photographs showing the ‘thermal indicator knob’ and what appears to be some sort of switch gear. I’m not entirely sure of what all parts are don’t know where I would put the multi-meter to check continuity of the overload device. Some of the photographs were taken when the coil was removed and also the spark cover over the live and neutral inputs was removed. If the photographs are unclear, I could try and draw a diagram of that it looks like. Perhaps I need to remove the component board from the cabinet to see what is at the back? Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you require further information. [/QUOTE]
