What to do if my Delta 23-197 Grinder is not starting?

  If your Delta Grinder isn't starting, first, ensure it's properly plugged in. If it is, check the power cord and replace the plug if damaged. Also, inspect the fuse and circuit breaker, replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker if necessary. A damaged switch or motor cord can also cause this issue, so replace them if needed. Check the power cord and voltage output. If the capacitor is damaged, replace it. Unplug the grinder and manually rotate the wheel to free any obstructions. Finally, ensure the grinder switch is in the ON position.

  If your Delta Grinder motor isn't operating properly or at full power, begin by checking the power cord and any extension cords for voltage drops. If the issue persists, the motor or capacitor may be damaged. In that case, replace the motor or capacitor, or contact Delta Customer Service. Also, if the motor is overheating, it might be overloaded, so reduce the force applied to the grinding wheel and check the supplied power.

  Excessive vibration in your Delta Grinder can often be traced to improper mounting. Make sure the grinder is firmly secured to its stand or benchtop. Another potential cause is grinding wheel imbalance. Check the wheels for uneven wear and replace them if necessary. If the problem continues, contact Delta Customer Service.

  If your Delta Grinder is producing a workpiece surface that isn't smooth, this could be due to excessive vibration, in which case you should refer to the solution for vibration issues. Another cause could be uneven wear on the wheel, so replace the grinder wheel. Also, ensure you're holding the workpiece securely and applying steady, consistent pressure to the grinding wheel.
