How To Fix A Record Player That Won’t Spin

 

If your record player is not spinning, here are some troubleshooting steps to follow:

Check the power source:

Make sure that the record player is properly plugged in and that the outlet is working. Also, check to make sure that the power switch is turned on.

Check the belt:

If your record player has a belt-driven turntable, check the belt to see if it's broken or stretched out. If it is, you will need to replace it. To do this, remove the platter and replace the belt according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Clean the spindle:

The spindle is the part of the turntable where the record sits. Over time, it can accumulate dirt and grime, which can prevent the turntable from spinning. Clean the spindle with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution, being careful not to scratch the surface.

Check the motor:

If the motor is not working, it could be a problem with the wiring or a burned-out motor. You may need to take the record player to a professional repair shop to have the motor replaced.

Check the platter:

If the platter is not seated properly on the spindle, it may not spin. Make sure that the platter is properly aligned and seated on the spindle.

Check the tonearm:

The tonearm is the part of the record player that holds the needle. If the tonearm is not moving or is stuck, it could be a problem with the wiring or a malfunctioning tonearm. You may need to take the record player to a professional repair shop to have the tonearm fixed.

If none of these troubleshooting steps work, it may be time to take your record player to a professional repair shop to have it fixed. Contact AudioCare for purchasing a music system in Indore .
