Re: Problem with Shaded-Pole Motor
Shaded pole motors are the least efficient of all induction motors, around 20% eff.
For this reason, it does not take much to slow or stop them.
It is usually the oil in the phosphor bronze bearings drys up due to heat and bogs the motor down.
Clean the bearings thoroughly with a detergent such as kerosene or paint thinner. And soak them in auto ATF.
That wire appears to a ground?
