Why does my Performax 241-1450 keep blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers?
- JJulia BaileyAug 5, 2025
If your Performax Power Tool is blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers, there are several potential causes. It could be due to overloading from binding, in which case you should clean around the wheels and shaft or replace the bearings. Other possible causes include a defective plug (replace the plug), a defective cord (replace the cord), or a defective switch (replace the switch). Also, ensure the motor is wired for the correct line voltage as per the wiring diagram. For faulty internal wiring, contact an authorized Sears Service Center.
