Default Urgent help with Cement Mixer

Hi All,

My borrowed cement mixer has just stopped working. I am under the pump to get a couple of retaining walls built before the fencing contractor comes next week.

I need to get the thing working again urgently...the problem is, I have no idea on where to take it to get it repaired. I am in Perth and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction....

I suspect its an electrical fault as we had it working pretty hard today and it just stopped mid mix.....

Any help or guidance much appreciated!!!

A bit awkard but could you ask the lender if he has had this sort of trouble and with luck he might say "oh yeah, I get that, just give it a kick"

BTW have you checked the fuse?

Did the motor perhaps overheat and popped the reset?

Look for a reset button on the motor somewhere.

Check for a thermal cut out button on the end of the motor. Give it a press.
If it goes again contact the owner as the motor bearings may be dry and it will burn out the motor.

Dont ask how I know.

Most prob thermal cut out , but did you try it on another power circuit or plug something else into the circuit like a radio

Thanks to all for suggestions.....

Came home from work tonight, took the plastic cover off, hit the reset button and it fired up!

I did try this yesterday but to no avail...I assume we overloaded it and it took time to cool down before it would work again...

Anyhow....cheers!
