How can I repair my wired roller shutter motor?

Several preliminary tests are needed to diagnose the fault on a wired roller shutter motor:

1) Check there are no mechanical blockages which are preventing the shutter panel from winding or unwinding from the casing or the sliders.
2) Check that the shutter curtain is properly fixed to the winding tube in the casing.
3) If the motor is jammed, you must check that the power supply is on.
4) Try to reprogramme it and set the end-limits, depending on the model: ILMOIPSO, other

If the problem persists after all these tests, the motor may in fact be faulty.

 

Somfy roller shutter radio motors are guaranteed:
- 3 years from the date of purchase, for MS100 and MS200 kits.
- 5 years from date of manufacture for other models of motor.

If your motor is still covered by warranty for an MS100 or MS200 kit, please contact us by asking your question on our Forum, giving as much detail as possible of the fault found, tests performed and the results obtained.

For motors other than MS100 or MS200 kits, still in their warranty period, your installer or dealer is responsible for the customer service. 

If your model of motor is no longer on sale, you can ask for a home visit from a professional using our SOMFY ASSISTANCE service (call-out and labour costs will be your responsibility).

If the motor is no longer covered by warranty, you will have to replace it: how can I replace my roller shutter motor?
