How to repair Somfy Ceres 10/17 LT50 when the roller shutter no longer goes up.

The Somfy Ceres 10/17 LT50 is a tubular motor with 10 Nm of torque and 17 rpm. If your roller shutter still goes down, but only goes up if you help it manually, there is almost always a weakening component inside the motor. We replace precisely this component, after which the motor will run at full power in both directions again.

Typical error pattern

  • The roller shutter still goes down, but only goes up with manual assistance.
  • The motor runs weakly, slowly, or has become noticeably louder.
  • The motor stalls under load or starts only with difficulty.

  1. SR –

    I stumbled across this offer by chance while searching for a new roller shutter motor on Google. The description on the website perfectly matched the problem with our broken motor, and I decided to use their service, figuring I had nothing to lose. To cut a long story short, everything went flawlessly, without any problems. The repair was incredibly fast, and the repaired motor was returned to me just as quickly by the shipping company. I installed it, and lo and behold, everything was like new, as if nothing had ever happened. This company deserves nothing but praise. Instead of throwing away the old motor, it now works like new again. On the one hand, it prevents electronic waste, and on the other hand, it saves a huge amount of money, to put it simply. For less than half the price of a new one, I now have a working motor again—what more could you want? It definitely makes sense to use this service; I’m thrilled and I’m sure I’ll use it again in the future. We already have another engine making strange noises, and it’s surely only a matter of time before it needs repairs as well. Luckily, I now know who to contact: a reliable company I can wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks from us for their excellent work.

    Ich bin durch Zufall über das Angebot gestolpert, als ich via Google nach einem neuen Rolladenmotor gesucht habe. Die Ausführungen auf der Webseite entsprachen exakt dem Fehlerbild unseres defekten Rolladenmotors und ich entschied mich dazu diesen Service in Anspruch zu nehmen, weil ich mir dachte was habe ich schon zu verlieren. Um es vorneweg zu nehmen, es lief alles einwandfrei, ohne Probleme, die Reperatur erfolgte unglaublich schnell und genau so schnell wurde mir vom Versanddienstleister der reparierte Rolladenmotor wieder ausgehändigt. Ich baute diesen ein und siehe da, alles wie neu, als wäre nie was gewesen. Diesen Anbieter kann man nur mit Lob überschütten, statt den alten Motor wegzuwerfen funktioniert dieser nun wieder wie am ersten Tag. Es wird zum einen Elektroschrott vermieden und zum anderen spart man eine Unmenge an Geld, um es mal ganz pragmatisch zu formulieren. Für weniger als die Hälfte des Neupreises habe ich nun einen wieder funktionierenden Motor, was will man mehr. Es macht Sinn diesen Service in Anspruch zu nehmen, ich bin begeistert und bin mir auch sicher, dies in Zukunft erneut zu tun. Wir haben bereits einen weiteren Motor der merkwürdige Geräusche von sich gibt und es ist sicherlich nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis dieser ebenfalls repariert werden muss. Zum Glück weiß ich jetzt an wen ich mich wenden kann, einen zuverlässigen Anbieter, den ich uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen kann. An dieser Stelle vielen Dank unsererseits für ihre tolle Arbeit.

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!

Absolut super und schnell - eine Woche nach Versand hatten wir unseren reparierten Motor schon zurück und haben jetzt wieder eine funktionierende Markise. Auch auf unsere Anfrage hinsichtlich eines Problems, das wir beim Programmieren hatten, wurde uns schnell geholfen. Klare Empfehlung!
