Does any body have any experience fixing this model? My sander stopped working but was working perfectly minutes before. Put it down to change paper and then it wouldn’t start. Took it apart, cleaned out all dust, checked connections, but it still didn’t start. I’m guessing either the cord or the switch went bad. Any way for me to tell before I buy new parts?
Good question. I never used that model before. Sounds like it might be the switch especially if it was working and then when not in use, it went bad. Sounds goofy, but have you tried it in another outlet, just to make sure your outlet didn’t heat up and for some weird reason go bad?
