Hey Keith, Younger brother replaced belt on my air compressor but over tightened belt, said it went on for maybe a minute and over load ripped but now I feel the motor heating up and I got a faint burning smell so I shut it off. Took it apart, visually everything looks ok. Also tested a few things with multimeter, Cap is within uF spec still, its getting sufficiemte voltage at source no drop or anything. What do you think? I have 4 new bearings on way 2 for motor and just gonna replace both in my pump because I noticed the fly wheel having more resistance than before this issue so idk if those could have went too. Im hoping bearings are my issue. Almost forgot ran motor with no load and no issues runs as it should. Appreciate your help/knowledge Great channel btw! Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you did a good job troubleshooting so far. Even though everything visually looks okay and the capacitor tested fine, there still may be an issue based on the overheating and smell. There could be bearing damage from the tightened belt. I'd try spinning the shaft by hand to see if there's any resistance. You could also test the windings if you haven't already. Here's a step by step guide: th-cam.com/video/19zIZ7sTEhQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Mbojtiem8kVRTKSf&t=83.
@ there is quite a bit of resistance but only at a certain point during the rotation That’s what I was wondering about most because I do notice that it was more than before this happened. Will look at your video now and see what I get.
@@_elcaballero If there is resistance while turning the shaft, its probably a bearing issue. Could be damaged bearing races or ball. Or it could be as simple as contaminated lubrication. How does the grease look inside the bearing? Do you notice any debris/sand/grit?
Yikes! Sorry to disappoint-it sounds like this video didn't hit the mark for you. It's more of a recap, referencing previous videos and putting them in the context of an overall troubleshooting program.

Very straightforward. I like it. Thank you
Thanks Cody - glad it was helpful.
Thankyou sir
Thanks Linos!
@@emotorsdirect i love your videos so much ,they are very helpful in my understand of electric motors .

Very informative
Glad you think so!
Thanks for
No problem
What is the load
Whatever your motor is turning.
All of talking not alot of doing. Kinda useless video
