Re: Help with sticking stepper motor

I also have the same problem as OP is seeing.

I have the motor disconnected and am turning the spindle by hand. When it sticks it appears to be held magnetically though it is not possible manually turn through the magnetic resistance. By turning slightly in the opposite direction and back again it turns freely again. It sticks in either direction.

I have been sent pre-emptive replacement motor and the new one appears to be fine.
