Hi experts,
So edited my last post as I thought it was a capacitor that had failed and now disproven that, I have a bathroom heat/fan/light all in one unit and the fan has stopped working, what I have done for testing is bypassed all the internal wiring/capacitor and hooked it up directly to a power supply, even then its completely dead. When I cracked the motor open it seems to be in perfect condition, I know this whole unit is only about 5 years old so I am wondering if there is anything else I can check. the wiring to the motor goes through a rubber grommet on the side of the motor so I cant easily test to resistance to check the its all intact but it seems unlikely, the shaft is freely turning, I tried spinning it in both directions while powered applied but its completely dead. no sounds or anything.
The unit is $300 to replace so would love to find something simple to get it working again but I don't have high hopes, both the heat lamps and light work fine.
