My variable speed, 1.5 h.p. Baldor grinder motor quit running. It is only three years old and sees only moderate use as a hobbyists machine. It has to be something simple, and there is juice to the fuse in back which tests okay. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mine conked out on me once and I thought I was dead in the water till I started looking it over and noticed a funny looking red button on the side of it. I figured why not and pushed the button in and the motor came back to life. It was the heat overload switch.Man did I feel like a moron! Does your motor have one on it? Also, if you have a compressor or a strong vacuum cleaner, blast out the motor good to make sure theres no steel dust up in the windings.
