Default DMH electric problem...

Hey guys recently my DMH electric cutout has stopped working properly...

When i try to open it, it will barely have enough power to move at all but when i try to close it.. it seems to do it decently well..

I have already tried to contact DMH via Email and no response and it was weeks ago...

Does anyone have any experience with this problem?

Is it an easy fix?

Anyone had problems contacting DMH?

This.


Have you tried cleaning or oiling it? Those exhaust gasses are pretty rough on parts.

i sprayed it down with wd40 not to long ago but ill try brake cleaner and wd40 again...

if it was because of it being dirty wouldnt that cause it to stop all together and not just one direction?

I'd try and get into the gearbox of the gear motor, to
lube that up. If you can disassemble it to where you
can get some graphite grease onto the butterfly shaft
that will help too. And see if there is crust built up at
the closed seating position that is hanging up the open.
