Greetings Folks,

I have a Delta 14-651 mortiser. It was used it successfully yesterday. Today it will not turn on, no sound, no nothing. I verified that the power source was active.

The switch housing was opened and it was clean inside, no sawdust or debris. The switch has four wires attached to it. There is also a capacitor wired in.

So, having no knowledge of electrical components or circuits I detached and reattached the wires to their respective connectors. It did not help.

Is there a way to test the capacitor vs the switch before I try to locate replacement parts?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
