Hello everyone,
I have a roller shutter where the upper end stop wasn’t set. I always had to stop it manually at the top to prevent it from coming off the guide.
Unfortunately, it happened that the roller shutter was raised all the way up, but no one stopped it. So it kept running inside the roller shutter box for a long time… whether it was 30 minutes or 2 hours, no one can say, but definitely for a long time.
The shutter curtain was pushed back into the guide, but now this happens:
It was halfway down but could no longer be lowered, only raised.
An electrician said that the external actuator controlling the roller shutter is not faulty since he bypassed it and the roller shutter still would not lower.
We then had a craftsman come to check the roller shutter motor.
For whatever reason, we tested by fully raising the roller shutter and, of course, stopping it completely at the top. From there, it was possible to lower it fully again. When stopped halfway, it would no longer lower from that point, only raise. Once fully at the top again, it could be lowered.
The craftsman still recommended replacing the motor. However, I think it might be fixable since it seems to be “just misadjusted.”
What does this sound like to you? And now to the important part… how could a misadjusted motor be correctly set if the manufacturer is unknown?
I believe the windows and roller shutters came from Poland. The developer went bankrupt deliberately, so I can no longer get any information from them.
Additionally, the craftsman said that I apparently have a 50mm (2 inch) tube axle, but he only knows 60mm (2.4 inch) axles. He would install a 60mm axle and adjust the rollers so that some slats would stick out, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough space inside the box.
Do you have any ideas about what I could do?
Regards,
Tito
