i'm really hoping i don't have to dis-assemble anything but bottom line the motor has power but is not starting. 5HP motor that comes w/Clear Vue Cyclone. The motor is up in the joists since my ceiling in my cellar is kind of low to it's a little tough to get to but i'm wondering if there's any kind of reset switch or something easy to check. If not that what would be the next thing to try/measure? i can feel the two capacitor covers but i'm not sure sure i can remove them w/o dis-assembly.
Background - the lid on my dust barrel developed a crack so i'd been working on it....see other thread. Left home this weekend. Came back this morning, fixed the top on the barrel, assembled it and went to turn on the (light) switch and noticed that it was "up"...which was odd as i know i had turned it off. The switch goes to a contactor. i verified that the the contactor is working and that 220 is being delivered thru the contactor so i'm sure the motor is getting power. What i don't know if is someone accidentally flipped the switch while i was out of town and just left it on. Kids don't live at home but they do stop by from time to time. If they did there would have been no barrel at the bottom of the cyclone and it should have been loud enough for them to know something was amiss. but who knows.
Suggestions on what to check/how to debug?
