Our Baldor Repair Process
- Incoming inspection. We record the nameplate data and the motor’s condition when it arrives.
- Testing. Ground testing, surge comparison and core loss testing identify winding and core problems.
- Teardown and failure analysis. We inspect bearings, shaft, rotor, stator and housings to find the cause of failure, not just the symptom.
- Written quote. You receive a repair quote, and a replacement quote when a new motor makes more sense.
- Repair. Rewinding, bearing replacement, shaft and housing machining, and brake work as required.
- Balancing and final testing before the motor is returned.
Common Reasons Baldor Motors Come In
- Bearing failure from contamination, misalignment or lubrication problems
- Winding insulation breakdown from heat, moisture or voltage spikes
- Overheating from overload, blocked ventilation or single phasing
- Water intrusion on washdown motors
- Commutator and brush wear on DC motors
- Worn or failed brakes on brake motors

What to Send for a Quote
A photo of the nameplate speeds up quoting. On Baldor motors, the catalog number and spec number identify the exact design. Include the horsepower, voltage and frame size if the nameplate is damaged, a short description of the failure, and how quickly you need the motor back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair Baldor DC motors?
Yes. We repair Baldor-Reliance DC motors, including armature and field work and commutator and brush service.
Should I repair or replace my Baldor motor?
It depends on the motor’s size, age, efficiency rating and how quickly you need it running. Larger motors are usually worth repairing; small general purpose motors are often cheaper to replace. We will quote both. See our repair vs. replace cost comparison.
