My 4200 Dremel over heated and stopped working. The book said to replace both the Brush and the springs. I did that and it still does not work. Plugged in to other outlets and it still did not work?

That sounds like more than just the brushes. The cost of a new Dremel isn't going to be that much more than repairing the one that's not working. Start looking for one on sale and you won't regret it. It can be a headache and a hassle to order some of these parts because items get discontinued and almost always go up in price around the same time. Supply and demand and it's easy for the tool owner to get the short end of the Stick. I'm a repairman/service tech by trade and want to repair everything in my shop that breaks and although well-intentioned isn't always the best idea in the long run. Good luck

It's possible that the enameled copper coiling on the stator was compromised when it overheated creating a short. Sadly, unless you have a replacement stator is cannot be fixed. Sorry.

SOURCE: Heat/AC unit in working order, plugged in 20Amp outlet.. no fan?

Hi1
Do you have at least 200 volts at your outlet? Check that first. You said you brought it home from work, so when you plugged it in at home did you plug it into a 120 volt recepticle?

SOURCE: stop working. brush was cloged. It there a reset button?

i had a similar thing happen and just got off the phone with dyson. there is a resettable switch on the handle. they told me to start the vacuum in the upright position, put it in the non upright position, then push and hold in the beater bar switch which is located next to the on/off button for 10 seconds and the beater bar should start to function once again

SOURCE: I plugged my dremel 395

It is with regret that I must inform you that you will probably have to replace the whole unit, the field coils will have blown and almost certainly the armature - your did give it a 100% over voltage shock. The prices of the parts will be more than the cost of a new machine.

SOURCE: Tried to replace motor brush on dremel. One brush

I had to completely dismantle my dremel because both brushes were stuck. Had to basically break them apart because they were seized solid in there.

SOURCE: The blower motor for thr heat/AC just stopped working. I've checked the fuses and replaced the resistor in the spring. Is there some other relay anywhere?

recheck the resistor. Just cause it isnt very old dosent mean it didnt go bad. Things arent made like they used to be.

Dremel 4200 stopped working

No.. the issue issue is the switch inside. when your Dremel 4200 stop working, press firmly the grey area between the speed selector and the brush housing. I think this a defect in the design of the 4200. 9f840401-fb84-4f7b-8c68-75a9be3ceb9e.jpg

New dremel 4000 used very little is missing the brushes and whatever else goes in the brush hole. found the cap laying on the table with no other parts. what do I need to replace???

Dremel has all their replacement parts right on the shelf at walmart, brushes, caps, chucks, the works. You found the cap, the brush is a little carbon square attached to a wire with a spring on it. Real simple. Buy a pair and get it fixed up. My favorite tool.

Do Dremel 4000 tools overheat and stop running? Is there a reset switch?

On a 4000 there is a thermal fuse at the base of the motor from the brush housing. They are cheap to replace. these are replacing fuses on alot of electronic devices. the fuse is a microtemp g7f01 110c.

Dremel 400 xpr stopped working. checked brushes looked ok but replaced with new ones. still not working. tool is still fairly new with only light to medium use.

It could be the fuse between the brush and variable speed control switch. I have the same problem and found the fuse blown. I am hoping that I can replace the fuse without having to buy the complete speed control unit which is about $17.00 from Dremel. If yours is still under warranty you could send it back. If I can find a fuse for mine I will let you know where to get them. joatmontag

How to replace brushes?

On either side of the switch is a black disk with a notch small enough for a small screwdriver. Unscrew it and take it off to expose the spring. Gently pull the spring out and the brush should be attached. If you encounter resistance, then you may disconnect the spring from the brush. If this happens then push the spring back in and hope you catch the brush; if this does not work, then get creative or take the whole thing apart to get to it. After that, just put the new brushes in and recap.
