Dunkermotoren D240 replacement motor if repair is insufficient

Not every defect in the Dunkermotor D240 can be repaired. If more than the usual wear parts are affected, such as the gearbox or windings, or if the motor itself is damaged, a tested, used replacement motor is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to buying a new one. You will receive a fully functional D240, and your existing mounting bracket and shaft adapter will remain intact.

When a replacement motor is the right choice

  • The motor has a different defect than the component mentioned in the repair service, for example in the gearbox or winding.
  • The connecting cable was cut or damaged.
  • The motor has already been opened or a repair attempt has been made.
  • The drive unit is damaged by moisture or force.
Defective Dunkermotor D249?
We do not offer a dedicated D249 exchange motor. If your D249 has gearbox damage, winding damage, or another defect, simply send it in as a used part for this D240 exchange motor. If only a single worn component is affected, repairing the D249 for €49 remains the more economical solution ( D249 CCW or D249 CW ).
Does the motor only lose power or does it become loud?
In most cases, only a single worn part is the problem, and repairing the D240 for €49 is the more economical solution. A replacement motor is only worthwhile if the motor is damaged beyond that.

You will receive this

  • Tested, used and fully functional Dunkermotor D240
  • With shaft adapter for 12 mm square shaft and Hirschmann connection cable
  • Without the shut-off mushroom; you can take this from your old motor.
  • 24-month warranty on the replacement motor
Replacement without an electrician, thanks to Hirschmann connectors
The D240 is equipped with a Hirschmann connector (STAK/STAS), a coded and touch-proof plug connection. You simply unplug the old motor and plug in the replacement motor – no wiring or electrician required. For safety, switch off the corresponding circuit breaker before disconnecting.

This is how the exchange process works

  1. You order the replacement motor via the shopping cart and immediately receive the shipping information by email.
  2. You send us your defective D240 or D249 as a used part.
  3. After receiving your old part and your payment, we will ship the tested replacement motor insured.

This service applies to the replacement motor of the Dunkermotor D240. We accept a defective D240 or D249 as a used part.

Note on usability
If the motor is defective, your blind or venetian blind will remain in its last used position, and the slats can no longer be tilted. Sun protection and blackout functions will therefore no longer be adjustable. We recommend having any detected defect repaired promptly.
Notice
We only exchange unopened Dunkermotoren drives without any prior repair attempt. Unfortunately, we cannot accept drives with moisture or impact damage, or those that have already been repaired.

Frequently asked questions about the Dunkermotoren D240 replacement motor

Can I also send in a defective D249 as a used part?

Yes. If your Dunkermotor D249 has a gearbox failure, a winding failure, or any other defect, send it in as a used part and receive a tested D240 replacement motor in return. We do not offer our own D249 replacement motor.

When is it worthwhile to replace the motor instead of repairing it?

If more than the usual wear parts are affected, such as the gearbox or windings, or if the connecting cable is damaged, a repair costing €49 is usually sufficient. If the motor only loses power or becomes noisy, a repair is usually enough.

How much does the replacement motor cost?

The fixed price is 69 euros plus shipping, with a 24-month warranty on the replacement motor.

Do I need an electrician for the replacement?

No. The D240 has a Hirschmann connector. You unplug the old motor and plug in the replacement motor. For safety, switch off the corresponding fuse beforehand.

How does the exchange process work?

You order via the shopping cart and receive shipping information by email. You drop off your defective D240 or D249 as a used part at a Hermes ParcelShop. After receiving your used part and your payment, we will ship the tested replacement motor insured.

Highly recommended. I sent in a defective Selve brand motor and received it back repaired super quickly. I am completely satisfied and can only agree with the top reviews. I would send any future defective motors here again. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic and fast – we had our repaired motor back just one week after sending it in and now have a working awning again. They also quickly helped us with our inquiry regarding a programming issue. Highly recommended!
