Technomate TM 2300 dish motor
Over the last year in operation it had become noisier, then rattling and not moving. The TM 2300 main gear is of plastic construction, presuming the teeth had stripped, decided to replace it with a TM 2600 (could not wait for repair, football season still on). After fitting the TM 2600 decided to take the TM 2300 apart, on opening up the problem was obvious, the drive motor mounting screws were falling out. The main drive gear teeth were OK. After reassemble the motor in operation was quieter than new.
NB. On opening up the motor remove only the four outer screws
