DOA Derek Weaver W-898XS Tire Changer - Loud, failed motor

- I received this machine new and it was immediately tripping my 20A breaker, pulling 26-28 amps on a dedicated 120V 20A circuit. The sound was also awful.
Hope this helps anyone that may get a defective unit - the motor is the issue! Derek Weaver sent me a new motor and all is well now. (I had to swap it myself, though) It now pulls 21 amps and doesn't trip the breaker, so I can actually use the machine. - Авто та транспорт
Did you ever get your problem resolved? I’ve been looking at buy one and been doing my research on them
Yup, they sent me a new motor and that fixed the issue. It sucked having to replace it on a brand new unit but it worked out. I think my failure was pretty rare. Customer service was helpful but didn’t apologize once or offer me anything for having the machine arrive DOA.
@@fiehlsport that’s good to hear ! Just pulled the trigger on the w-898xs tire changer and the w-987 wheel balancer combo kit. Can’t wait to get it
@bryanthomas9116 how is it so far?
@@infamouz111 they wouldn’t take my payment “line of credit” because it was over their limit and wanted me to wire them money So I didn’t end up getting it
@@bryanthomas9116 Awesome, my 898 has been great since the new motor. Really working well for larger wheels that my 894 couldn't do.
How’s machine holding up I’m about to buy it?
Working great once I got the new motor in. My old 894XS was great too. You should buy it! I use mine 2-3 times a week.
Capacitor mess up .
Capacitor tested out good. Still on the original one.
