Hi I have a Fisher CD Player AD-925. When loadin a CD and then pressing play the CD motor don,t start the CD rotation and nothing starts. If I help the motor by manually rotating the CD disc it starts playing fine. Is the motor a AC-driven Capacitor assisted motor?? Can the capacitor be faulty?? If so how do I locate it for replacement. Can it be any other thing causing the motor not to start by itself. Thanks in advance for any assistance/help Kind Regards Bjorn Lengquist

did you try cleaning the lens???? if not try that and see what happens.

I just had the same problem with my parents dx-c206. I first found the motor drive unit with quite a bit of dismantlement, the drive circuitry is under the turntable as well for the drive motors. Once in the drive motor unit, the associated circuitry is clearly seperated on the circuit board between the drive and the actual cd spin motor and laser circuit, I checked all the voltages to common and all seemed fine, I then discharged the caps, and it then by itself started to spin again, it still has a few glitches, that it might freeze, could have been also a faulty cap. Real reason is unsure, this was a lucky fix... I did also remove what I presumed is a coil sensor unit that is also located under the turn table, once the small rectagular circuit board is removed u will find two U shaped (presumed magnetic sensors). I dought that any cleaning I did fixed this, but this could possibly have been infra red sensors, that would requirer some cleaning. These sensors are responsable for the turntable positioning.

Hello SPENNA,

There could be many reasons for this to happen. Here are a few that comes to mind:

• It could be that you have a bad lid switch. Check the lid switch for continuity. A bad lid switch will interrupt the spin cycle. To eliminate a bad lid switch as the culprit, try the bypass test. HERE is a step-by-step guide with pics on how to do this. (Click the ‘NEXT’ button below the pic to proceed to the next pic/step). If the switch is ok, test for power at the wigwag (spin) solenoid when in spin cycle. For diagrammatic details of the insides of your machine, please click HERE.

• You may have to replace the drive coupler (also known as a "motor coupler" and is located between motor and transmission). I think it costs about $15. It sits behind the motor, so you have to remove that and then put in the new part. Reattaching the motor can be pretty tough though..You can purchase this part from HERE, if that was the problem.

Look underneath the unit for an access hole . It may be labeled as such.
Some CD units offer a manual drawer open device under there.

If you're really brave, unplug the unit and remove the case screws. Pop off the case and get your CD back. The you might need a draw belt. See prbline.com or studiosoundelectronics.com
