hi the volume control on my 6000 has stoped working ive opened her up and the belts are ok  so think it must be the canmotor can you still buy the motor ? or one that would work on the 6000 and beside the motor what else should I look for regards shaun

Common fault with the 6000, but have you tried cleaning the belt with alcohol first before moving onto the motor?

The belt often gets dirty and can seize up.

The motor can also be taken apart and cleaned so don't toss it out.  I had one that stopped working and got it going again after disassembling, cleaning and reassembling.

hi tryed both yours and bens advice but still no luck regards shaun

I can supply an exact reproduction belt.
Can you tell if the motor runs when the volume control buttons are pressed ?

Check also for bad solder joints on module 6, particularly where connectors are soldered to the board.
Module 6 sits at the bottom of the Beomaster, below the processor.

hi martin the motor is dead  can you supply a new motor plus the belt  regards shaun

I don't have the motor - and I doubt you'll find a new anywhere, a good used one from a donor would be more likely.

hi martin thanks for your help regards shaun

So you took it apart as in the picture below and cleaned the inside and it still doesn't work?

hi did not take the motor apart but took the gear under the motor apart and cleaned will try and take the motor itself apart will get back to you regards shaun
