    What to do if the shaft is not rotating on Distek Evolution 6100 Test Equipment but the unit heats properly?
    • R
      Robert ElliottSep 1, 2025
      If the shaft is not rotating on your Distek Test Equipment, but the unit heats properly, first check the 0.5 amp fuse located on the 5151 PCB to see if it is blown and replace it if needed. Then, inspect the drive motor connection on the 5151 PCB at location “J6” for loose wire connections or damaged pins, and repair as necessary. Also, check the motor drive connection on the drive motor itself for similar issues.
