Has anyone had problems with the motor failing? Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

Yes, we've been using our swing for 7 months and our motor just went today. I called fisher price service center at 1800-432-5437 and they 're sending us a new motor housing for free. All swings are covered for 1 year. When you call have the product# and the date code ready. They can be found on the motor housing opposite side of the battery compartment. They're going to send our part out tomorrow and I should get it in 7-10 business days. If your swing is older than a year, you can order the motor housing at www.service.fisher-price.com for $25.00 NOT including shipping. I hope this helps you!

Ours started out with only 1 arm not working but the motor on the second arm soon gave out also. We contacted the manufacturer as it was under warranty, who advised we return the motors for replacement. We just shipped them back to Amazon (who are charging us a restocking fee for an item that is defective and in no way restockable) and will order an new system as this is what we were advised to do by the manufacturer.

Our motor died too. We called the number J. Schaumberg indicated and FP promptly sent a new motor, which has been working fine for the past month or so.

I have not had any issues with the motor or the heater. Was installed in December 2012. LOVE my ipool!

I've not had that problem. I would probably do a search online for parts. However, something tells me that you would probably do best to take it to a repair shop.

I think the whole gear box is the problem here. Not sure replacing motor will fix your problem. eBay has similar motor with gear boxes try it.

Mine got returned after a month when a motor failed. The seller even sent me two when the second didn't work. I would buy another the product is great it is a great kit.

Sounds like the motor burnt out due to the faulty bearing under the blender blades.It will be an on going issue. I agree with M. Sloan.

I also had the same problem! I called support line and they said it was likely a broken motor. So they sent us a new motor and (after 3 weeks) a repair guy came. He couldn't fix the bike (because a pedal arm was stuck so he couldn't remove the casing). Called them last week to tell them repair guy could not fix the bike (he also called them). They told us they need to have a meeting to see how to next proceed. That was 7 working days ago. Still no word from them. Not impressed. Let me know how it goes for you guys!!

I have not experienced this problem either. You may want to swap it out...I really enjoy mine. It's worth the effort to get one that is working properly.

A friend of mine just had the same problem, he flew it, replaced battery with a fresh one, and nothing... Sorry to say this but his main rotor motor went bad...But if you're lucky the transmitter batteries may be low enough to give you a problem try replacing them...(Don't pay much attention to the bars for your transmitter batteries , it lies)

I ordered one late last year and didn't have any problem. The motor pulled the plastic down just fine.

I got one a year ago and it's still going strong. Recently a friend's first one had a dead motor. He returned it and got a replacement; it could not be trimmed to hover. I think quality control has slipped.

Yes. I recently used warranty service via (US based!!!) Customer Care Center @ 1-800-732-2677 and they provided replacement motor as promised. I like it when I encounter truly good customer service. :-)

I had mine working perfect for almost a year. But when I took apart the motor the problem was NOT that the motor burned it. Dust had filled the gear box so badly that it stripped the gear of it's teeth. I poured out tablespoons of litter dust build up! Regularly take apart the motor house and clean out the dust and you shouldn't have a problem with it.

I have used mine for quite a long time. Is the motor working - have you charged it? If the motor is working, do you have the brush firmly connected to the motorized unit - if it's not clicked in firmly, it won't work.

Same issue with mine. Perhaps just the normal byproduct of the motor's internal moving/grinding parts. Honestly, thisnis my 2nd Blendtec. 1st one burned out after ~650 cycles. I'm no longer enthralled with this product. should have just saved $$ and went with a Ninja.
