Received the new Turbopower 1000 motor, but have a problem...

[jmurray01]

It is an Amatek motor which the seller said would fit the Turbopower 1000 but I cannot figure out how to hook it up to the three wires in the TP1000.

Here are some pictures, the first comparing it with the original motor.

And the last picture of a sticky-backed "pad", there is one of those on the original motor, but I don't know where I'd affix it to the new one...

Here is a picture of the three cables on the TP1000 in case it helps:

OK, I found a piece of paper in the box which showed me where to put the "overheat pad", but I'm still stuck about how to wire the damn thing up.

Oh and it is from 1999 (the new motor) in case that helps.

 

[jmurray01]

Nobody!? I could really do with some help, I spent £30 on that damn motor and if it is no good I need to know.

Patience Jamie, is a virtue - I'm sure if you keep bumping this thread, someone will have the answers - just dont be impatient and try doing it yourself, or your £30 motor will be as toast as your old one.
I dont have the answer, as I dont have a turbopower any more, but isnt this your autosense model that has variable power to the motor - I'm not sure if the motor itself steps down the power or the circuitry in the cleaner does it. I'm only used to motors with 2 wires like in the Dysons. Maybe vintagehoover might be able to assist you? he usually comes on most days so just be patient......

 

[jmurray01]

Well that's it, the TP1000 is an Autosense model and the third wire (I presume for the Autosense) had its own connector on the old motor but this one only has two and even those I don't know how to make compatible for the power cables.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Well, Jamie you have another TP without Autosense so take that apart and see how its wired - you may be able to use the new motor in your other TP model, so at least that will have a brand new motor - then keep on the lookout for another aoutosense model that you could use as a donor motor?

 

[jmurray01]

I think I'll have to end up just keeping that motor as a spare for my 1999 Hoover Turbopower 2, which it SHOULD fit since they are both the same year.

I have to say I'm very disappointed though and will see if the seller can give me a refund as he said it would fit the TP1000 U2812.

It isn't a foregone conclusion yet though as neither of us are experts on the subject.

Just incase it helps...

I scanned in the section on TP 2 & 3's from the 1995 service manual.

Sorry they are not better quality. My phone takes better scans of books than my flatbed...

and that's it. I hope this helps in some way, I haven't got any later editions sadly.
