What to do if my Powermatic Dust Collector motor will not start?
- BBenjamin YatesAug 12, 2025
If the Powermatic Dust Collector motor won't start, several issues could be at fault. First, ensure there's incoming current by checking connections at the plug or circuit panel. Verify the safety key is properly installed in the switch. If the motor overheated, allow it to cool, then press the reset button and restart. Also, check the power line for proper voltage. Inspect all connections to the switch box and motor for any loose or open connections. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the start switch, capacitor, or even the motor itself might be faulty and require inspection or replacement.
