Capacitor 25uf (230V) for Belle Minimix 150

Product Information

Here is a troubleshooting guide to help fix a Belle Minimix 150 cement mixer that won't start or runs with low power:

If you have tested the mixer by spinning the drum and it still does not run it could mean that the switch is broken or not working properly. In this case it is worth testing the switch to see if it needs replacing before moving to other more costly parts of the machine. Gearbox Over time the belt can wear down and eventually snap. If you find your motor is running but the drum isn’t rotating, it’s likely that the belt has broken. This is very common and is simply caused by lots of use. Whether your mixer is electric powered, or petrol powered, you can remove the side cover on the machine and replace the belt with ease. Broken Fan If your machine is particularly old, or it hasn’t been serviced for a while, you may hear a grinding from the gearbox. This is caused by the gears wearing down over time. If your Belle Minimix 150 runs when it is first switched on, it suggests that the switch and the capacitor are working. A common cause for the machines to stop running at this point could be that the motor fan is broken or missing blades. This fan is designed to take the warm air away from the motor, so with this element damaged after a few minutes of running the motor can overheat and shut down. These fans are available separately. Blown Capacitor We hope you found our common troubleshooting tips helpful. Please note that although the tips above can be used they will not always fix the problem, as every machine and problem has different factors attached to it.If the machine still doesn’t start up after manually spinning the drum, it could suggest that there is a problem with the start switch. Replacing the switch is very simple and cheap to do so it may be worth trying this before fiddling with more expensive and complex components. Worn Gearbox Holding the start button for too long can blow the capacitor. If the mixer won't start and you can't hear a buzz when you press the start button, it could be either the switch or the capacitor. A simple way to identify what is causing the problem is to try spinning the drum in the direction it should turn whilst pressing the start button. If the mixer then starts, this will indicate that the capacitor is no longer working and needs replacing. Broken Switch The Belle Minimix 150 is a common mixer used for construction projects across the UK. The mixer hasn't changed substantially since it first went into production. However, as with all working machines that are in constant use, you may from time to time encounter issues. Correctly identifying the problem can save time and money when repairing these mixers.
