Top-selling DeWalt planer parts

• Motor brushes. Spring-loaded motor brushes on the planer mount against the motor's rotating armature, transferring power to the armature. These brushes wear out over time. Inspect the carbon motor brushes regularly. Replace the motor brushes when they wear down to their wear replacement mark or when the carbon brush is ¼-inch. Replace both carbon motor brushes as the same time.
• Drive belt. The drive belt spins the blades and rollers. The drive belt can wear and stretch over time. Replace the drive belt when it's worn or damaged.
• Drive motor. Eventually bearings in the drive motor can wear out. Replace the drive motor if it makes loud noises when running, locks up or doesn't run when current is supplied to the motor.
• Blades. Keep planer blades sharp and replace the blades when they're worn out or damaged.

What to do you’re your DeWalt planer won't power up

Power supply problems, a bad power cord, a tripped motor overload, a bad on/off switch, a wiring failure or a failed motor can prevent your planer from running.

Check the electrical outlet for power. Reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet if the electrical outlet is dead.

If the electrical outlet has power, unplug the planer and check the power cord for damage. Repair or replace the power cord if it's frayed or cut.

If the power cord is okay, check the wiring connections on the power switch and motor (with the planer still unplugged). Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.

If the wiring connections are okay, then you may need to replace the on/off switch or the drive motor.
