I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of player and the issue that I currently have and can suggest a fix? I have also tried to look for a replacement motor but as you can appreciate there are non available. I have tried to do some research and have found that the motor seems to be the issue here which does not seem to be repairable as the motor is a sealed unit. I am almost sure that it is the motor causing this buzz, as when I first got the player and the motor wasn’t spinning there was no buzz. The only time the buzz increases in volume is if I try to slow down the platter with my hand, sometimes the buzz will also stop when I do this. The buzz does not change in volume, and does not get louder if I turn up the volume. However there is an annoying buzz that now comes from the speaker that seems to be associated to the motor. Some times the motor will just stop but if I tap it, it will start to spin again, the more I have used it the less it stops randomly. The motor now spins and plays records at the correct speed, I have been playing a lot of records on it and the volume is clear and loud. I suspect that the motor was seized and by moving it a bit its started to spin. So I moved the motor pulley by hand a bit and I started to check some voltages against the circuit diagram, after some tinkering around and making no changes the motor started to spin. The record player was advertised as “working with loud volume but the motor does not spin, if you spin the platter by hand there is loud volume”, and this is exactly how I found it. I will try to explain the unit in its condition when I got it as best as I can to help explain the issue. I managed to buy one off ebay that was not working and advertised as such. Hello, I am trying to repair a Philips 22GF113 record player. IMO it would be better to take a good look around inside the plinth and ensuring there are no bare, loose or frayed wires carring ac first, before connecting to the mains. Assuming the OP bought the deck used wiith unfamiliar history, any kind of evil could be lurking near the motor such as loose wires carrying ac, for example. If I may respectfully remind you it could be fatal to turn things on and stick bare hands into unknown cavities. It's time for diagnosis, and good luck from the old inspector, If way more or way less than this, you may have a bad coil in motor. Typically you are looking at anywhere from 150-200 ohms for windings to about 400 ohms for windings. DO NOT measure ohms at motor with changer plugged in or turned on. You can check this with ohmmeter, or ohms portion of DVM. If motor does not spin when turned on, you need to check to be sure that there is voltage on motor windings and be sure windings are not open or shorted. The turntable should not hang up or jam If it does you will have to figure what is causing it to do so. It should turn VERY easily unless it is in the changer cycle, and even then, it should be only a little less easy to turn. Spin the turntable by hand and see of it hangs up or stops turning and jams. Can you feel the motor turn on and off? If you can, motor is probably spinning, and you will have to take the turntable off it in order to inspect to see if idler wheel is making contact and other drive mechanisms are working. Turn the switch on and put your hand under unit and touch the motor.
