This is a out of warranty circular saw (2730-20.) It just stopped working. However, the light still working. I did some researches on Youtube most listed problem was trigger faulty. I had replaced the trigger as well as the diode. Saw still not working. Also, I cleaned off all the dust and had used electrical contact cleaner. After put the saw back together. It make one click noise and went death again. (I really don’t think the motor was burned out.) It seemed like this is a common problem with Milwaukee power tool across the board. If anyone know how to fix this problem, please share, I am very much appreciate. Coincidently, my Milwaukee 7 1/4″ miter double bevels saw went death a minute apart with my circular saw (I am death serious). Luckily, it still has a couple months of warranty left. I send it off and get it back in 4 days. I’ll post the repair report of the miter saw as soon as I get it from the repair shop.
Sweet, thanks. Always good to know fixes
