How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the motor to cool completely before touching it.
- Improve ventilation: Clear leaves, debris, or stored items from around the Emaux motor. Ensure adequate airflow and do not enclose the motor in a sealed box.
- Check for overloading: Verify that filter pressure is within normal range and that valves are correctly positioned to avoid excessive backpressure.
- Verify supply voltage: Have an electrician check that the supply voltage matches the motor rating; undervoltage can cause overheating.
- Allow cooling and reset: Many motors have an automatic reset; once cooled, they will restart. If the motor repeatedly overheats, internal damage may be present.
Persistent overheating indicates a need for professional evaluation and likely motor replacement.
