Somfy IPSO 6 6/17 not responding? Fast & affordable motor head replacement.
Is your Somfy IPSO 6 6/17 no longer responding to the switch? Can the limit switches no longer be set, or does the motor stop sporadically on its own? Then there is a defect in the motor head. This is where the mechanical limit switch adjustment, the control unit, and the wiring are located. In this case, the motor, brake, and gearbox inside your metal tube are usually still completely intact.
Note on usability
If the motor head is defective, your roller shutter will remain in its last used position. This is more than just a loss of convenience: you can no longer control the blackout function, nighttime burglar protection is lost, and in summer, heat insulation becomes ineffective. We recommend having any detected defect in the motor head repaired promptly.
Typical defects that we can fix with this product
- The motor no longer responds to the switch and cannot be reset.
- The motor only runs in one direction.
- The motor responds sporadically or with a delay to commands.
- End positions are no longer saved or cannot be reset.
- The motor starts and stops automatically after a short time.
What is exchanged with this product
We repair your motor through a modular replacement process. We use a particularly sustainable approach:
The metal tube of your motor, including the motor, brake, and gearbox, will remain intact. It will continue to be used because there is no defect in it.
The motor head of your motor, including limit switches, control unit, and wiring, will be replaced with a used, tested motor head. As part of this repair, you will also receive a new capacitor. This ensures that the most common electrical wear parts are replaced at the same time.
The result is a ready-to-use motor at significantly lower costs than a completely new purchase, with a 24-month warranty on all replaced components.
The exchange process is this simple
You order the exchange via the shopping cart. Immediately after placing your order, you will automatically receive the shipping information by email.
Shipping is via Hermes to a Hermes ParcelShop. This reduces your shipping costs and offers added security, as I personally accept all deliveries. Your motor will not be handed over to a neighbor or left unsecured in front of a door.
Shipments are picked up from Hermes Monday through Saturday. On the day of arrival, your motor will be repaired in our workshop. You will receive your invoice by email on the same day. You only pay once your motor has been successfully repaired. Return shipping via Hermes takes place on the day payment is received. If you pay by instant bank transfer, your motor will be shipped back to you the same day.
If the motor is beyond repair
In rare cases, a motor may be damaged beyond repair due to external interference or moisture. In this case, you have two options: We can dispose of the motor free of charge and professionally, or we can return it to you for a processing fee of €10 plus Hermes shipping costs.
