Hey guys, zero engineering know how and did a bit of poking around the forums via searching but didn't find much. My grandfather's garage door motor suddenly stopped working a couple nights ago (along with the heater, merry xmas). It's a 20 year old system he refuses to replace, motor label posted as attatchment here. When he took the cover off and disconnected the shaft drive from the pulley the motor seemed to operate. After reconnecting to the load, nothing. I called Westinghouse for support and they just laughed at me saying to replace it with something newer. I know the motor is old, but I really can't imagine it having gone completely. Any ideas? Please tell me what other information I can provide about the situation and sorry for the noobie question.
