Dewalt Drills - Page 3 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

this is the only one I have found.

For some reason, I can't find your screwdriver on the Dewalt site. They suggest calling them if you can't find an item. That info is below. That said, here is a YouTube that may be of interest. Be careful and don't burn yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z6izpCslFM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7zra2v_Bb4 https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-a-Drill-Bit https://www.dewalt.com/support/ call Dewalt: US: 1-800-4-DEWALT ' Mon - Fri 8am-5pm EST

If the battery is really being fully charged the connections are probably dirty but if the battery has been left discharged for a while it could now be faulty. A faulty battery can often be recognised by the unusually short time charging takes and sometimes an extraordinarily lengthy time. A voltmeter should be used to check the battery...

If the battery fits you're ok

This is indicating the battery is too hot to charge, usually after coming off the tool right after some hard work. During the charging process the battey heats up so if you charge a hot battery, thereby making it hotter, you shorten the lifespan of the battery considerably. If you are getting a hot/cold pack delay indication on the charger, it should automatically start charging once the battery has cooled down sufficently.

Hi,
Simply Google "how to replace 18v dewalt drill brushes"

You will get three youtube videos on how to do it right at the top of the page...

Check the brushes on the back of the motor. It sounds like they are worn.

Take the whole drill apart and check all electrical connections and switches. Make sure that the switches test out properly and that all connections are clean and seated correctly. Hit the motor with some compressed air to clean out as well. Be sure that the trigger is hitting its switch correctly and nothing is broken. Don't assume that the repair shop did this already. If it is in fact the module you may be able to find a replacement on eReplacementParts.com .

What kind of batteries are they? If they are NiMh and haven't been used for a while, they can lose their charge and NOT be sble to be charged again!

Do you have a 3rd battery that does work? Buy a battery to make sure the charger is working or that the drill is working. If yes to both of these, then your old batteries are NFG.

circuit failure or broken contact

As far as a schematic goes, I would guess that it is proprietary in nature and that not even dewalt "repairs" them. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same model had several different versions of circuit boards representing different production runs

You will need to ensure that you have power to switch and from switch. The motor not smoking does not mean it can't be bad

check battery. Check fuse.

I'm assuming you have a DCD970 as DeWalt doesn't have a DC970 and the DW970 is an impact driver. The chuck on your drill is a new design that doesn't have a lock screw inside the chuck, they are put on very tight with lock-tite to hold them on. They are made to be taken off with a special chuck holder and vice jig that only service centers have. The allen wrench method used on older chucks won't work as the chuck will just loosen when you hit the allen wrench. I have on occasion removed one by doing the following: Turn the chuck fully open then secure it in a vice with the drill straight up. Holding the drill body and using the handle for leverage, turn the drill counterclockwise, as you are looking down on it, with steady, strong pressure. If the chuck breaks free it will spin off easily. If you are at all afraid you may break the handle you may have to take or send it to a service center to have it removed.

manufacturer -- online search --or local tool repair shop

I DON'T KNOW. COULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR FREE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE RYOBI AND UPDATED ITEMS. THEY HAVE 3 CHARGERS 2 SMALLER RATED CHARGERS WOULD NOT GIVE ME 'FULL CHARGED' LIGHT. OLD BATTERIES WOULD NOT CHARGE ON OLDER CHARGER. FROM INTERNET ADVICE, I REPEATEDLY PLUG AND UNPLUG CHARGER BY HAVING PLUG LOOSE WHEN DOING THIS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 4 TIMES TO CHANGE FROM DEFECTIVE TO CHARGE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 20 TIMES TO SEE THE CHARGE LIGHT.

first make sure brushes are not worn out and if not then replace the switch. the brake is contained in it to throw a short thru the motor when trigger released to stop drill. You can find a breakdown for this tool at Dewaltservicenet.com

It connects the battery temperature sensor to the charger circuit to prevent the battery from overheating while being charged.
