is there a trick to removing motor? Sometimes it removes easily and others not. I have left it on because I can get it off

Sorry I just play around with mine until it comes off. I have the same problem

As far as I can remember as its been since last October since I used mine, I just twist it and it comes off. As I have limited space, I need to remove the motor and put everything back into its original boxes for storage. Sorry I can't be more help.

I wish I had a better answer for you..I don't. I too struggled a few times with it.

Twist it back so the catch clears the support, then pull back (out). You may have to "torque it back and forth" as you pull to unlock the lugs from the spiral drive shaft. If you still can't get it ether call the company or get more aggressive. Good luck. I am using mine quite a bit and wife loves that I can make seedless raspberries for her.

I just jiggle it a little and it comes off! I just love the motor! It saves my husband's arm and shoulder! Hope this helps you!

I used it for such a short while, I didn't try that- it cleans easily by hand, however. It is all stainless steel, so as long as you detach the motor it appears to be something that could be done.

Hello Mike. Please keep in mind that it has been a year since I had to work on this, however, I believe you simply reverse the motor by removing the screws (or nuts) that mount the motor to the frame. Once the screws are removed, reverse the motor so that the surface facing the frame is now facing opposite of the frame, reattach the screws or nuts and you are done.

Yes, it is removable. I didn't know this until you asked. Just went out and popped it off and replaced it with no difficulty. In fact, there is an operation warning embossed on the motor housing beneath the rubber piece, so obviously they assume you will see it.Been using mine daily since the beginning of April and when I removed this piece, the motor unit was completely clean underneath, so I don't believe it will be something that will have to be routinely removed, but nice that it can be in case of major mess that needs cleaning - haven't had one of those myself yet.

I've found it hard to get off twice. Other than that no problems. I think I may have twisted mine on to tight. I had to use two hands and my daughter hold the base to get it off . Good luck!

I got mine off with a flat screwdriver, but use a vise to hold motor or you'll end up stabbing your self. Trust me

No the motor is water tight. I have had the unit completely in water and touched it to take it out, and I was fine.

Mine doesn't do that at all! I can press it and leave it without holding it. Sounds like something is wrong with your motor I would send it back!

I found it difficult to remove also. It can be removed. I believe it is with the use of the little silver button.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

I replaced mine with the same one that was on it. After sitting during the winter when I tried to use it the motor didn't want to come on. I took it apart and cleaned it and now it works like new. Try to clean motor first before ordering a new one.

You should be able to remove the motor and fan portion of the unit without removing the metal boxthat is connected to the framing. As one of the other answers was to check the electrical to make sure that is not the problem. You will have to make sure you buy the exact model.

The part/plate the motor is mounted on held by one or two screws. Remove this part and unplug power wires, remove motor and replace. Reassemble.

I have one battery and mine is tough to remove as well. Try lubricating the area.

Just pull and it will comes out. May be your didn't changed for a longtime so it might be glued in. Pull hard.

It was only a few weeks, and I couldn't figure out why sometimes I would plug it in and motor wouldn't start. Once I started taking apart the motor it rarely happens. Good luck
