Markilux AS 35 /17-433 Motor Tube Replacement (Brake / Unrolls by Itself)

Markilux AS 35 /17-433 brake defective? Motor tube replacement at a fixed price.

Does your awning unroll itself, fail to hold its position, or extend again after retraction? Then the brake in the motor tube of your Markilux AS 35 /17-433 is defective; it's engaging with a delay. Instead of replacing the entire motor, we replace only the motor tube with a used, tested one.

Note regarding usability: As long as the motor is defective, your awning will remain in its last extended position. An extended awning cannot be retracted in windy or rainy conditions and is therefore particularly vulnerable. We recommend having any detected defect repaired promptly.

Replacing the motor tube solves this.

• The awning unrolls itself / the fabric sags out.
• After retraction, the awning extends again slightly (the brake engages with a delay).
• The drive is stuck, blocked, or jammed.
• Gearbox damage, the motor hums but does not move the cloth.

We are also replacing the motor capacitor, eliminating one common source of error.

You will receive this

• 24-month warranty on all replaced parts
• Replaced motor capacitor included, eliminating one common source of error.
• Particularly sustainable: only the truly defective part is replaced.
• Fixed price €89, plus shipping.
