An elderly relative has an electric curtain closer that's stopped working. A visitor didn't realise it was automated and tried to drag the curtains back manually.
Now, the motor still turns but the curtains only draw back halfway.
When the same thing happened a couple of years ago, she ended up sending the motor off to be reconditioned (It's a Silent Gliss system but these particular motors are discontinued).
Can anyone suggest what's gone wrong and how easy these things are to fix? It seems to me the motor doesn't need reconditioning if it still half works.
Thanks in advance.
