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!

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!

Repairing Somfy Ilmo 50 WT 6/17: Roller shutter motor, full service

The Somfy Ilmo 50 WT 6/17 is a proven roller shutter motor from Somfy with 6 Nm of torque. If it fails, repair is almost always worthwhile: Instead of replacing the entire drive unit, we replace the defective component inside and repair your original motor for a fixed price.

Typical defects of Ilmo 50 WT 6/17

The drive stops halfway and only continues after several attempts.
The motor runs weakly or stalls under load.
The roller shutter no longer responds to the switch, or only responds with a delay.

In most cases, the problem is a single defective electronic or mechanical component in the motor, not a total failure of the drive system. We replace precisely this component instead of replacing the entire motor.

What happens during the repair

We open the drive unit, locate the defective component, replace it, and test the Ilmo 50 WT 6/17 under load. Only when it reliably raises and lowers the roller shutter again will it be returned to you.

When another service is suitable

If the motor tube is mechanically damaged or the drive is beyond repair, replacement is advisable; our replacement motor for the Ilmo 50 WT 6/17 is available for this purpose. For brake failures only, our targeted brake repair service is available.

Repair process

You commission the repair via the shopping cart and receive shipping instructions by email. You send the motor via Hermes to our Hermes ParcelShop, where we will personally accept it. The repair is carried out on the day it arrives, and you will receive the invoice by email on the same day. After payment is received, the drive unit is shipped back to you insured; for instant bank transfers, this occurs on the same day.

You will receive this

Fixed price repair for €29, plus shipping.
Repair on the day of receipt
24-month warranty on the replaced components
Invoice after successful repair, return shipping after payment is received.

Suitable for Which Roller Shutter

The Ilmo 50 WT with 6 Nm is suitable for small, lightweight roller shutters. The following table serves as a guide:


material	SW 50	SW 60	SW 70
Plastic (PVC)	up to approximately 3.6 m²	up to approximately 3.2 m²	up to approximately 2.7 m²

Wood / extruded aluminum	up to approximately 1.5 m²	up to approximately 1.3 m²	up to approximately 1.1 m²

These values are guidelines for roller shutter heights up to 2.5 meters and include a 10 percent safety margin for friction. Actual material weights vary depending on the profile and manufacturer. If your system is borderline, we recommend the next larger motor size 10/17 or contacting us for further information.
