Michell motor is noisy:what to do?


Hi
The stand alone motor on my Michell Gyro is kinda noisy.
It is not electrical hum but rather a lisping sound coming from a rotating wheel.Once i heard it i can identify it from 2,5m (my sitting position).How to eliminate it?

I had a similar problem on my Michell Tecnodec, as the little pulley was slightly touching the motor housing, which can happen when the pulley becomes slightly loose. If it is the same problem in your case, it can be fixed within seconds using a small hex key.

Good luck,

Classic95, did you have a look at the motor pulley before sending it in? The lisping sound from the misaligned pulley was an easy fix on my Tecnodec, which has the same DC motor as the Gyro. In fact another user of the Tecno wrote to me with exaclty the same problem. Looks like the pulley on many new Tecnos and Gyros is just not mounted correctly from the start.

Wes, thanks for the update. Good luck with the repair or exchange of the motor.

Wes, that's just nonsense from the distributor. My Michell Tecnodec is very quiet. I am sitting only 3 feet away and not a sound. Admittedly, my 30 year old Thorens TD150 is even more quiet, no motor sound whatsoever.

Do you have a dealer close by where you could check other tables for noise?
