Somfy Orea WT 40/17 Motor Tube Replacement (Brake / Unrolls by Itself)

Somfy Orea 50 WT 40/17 brake defective? We repair quickly and affordably.

Does your large awning, equipped with the Somfy Orea 50 WT 40/17, not stay in place after being stopped, but instead slowly extend again on its own? Then the integrated motor brake is no longer holding the load. Especially with wide awnings, a considerable pulling force is exerted on the brake via the long articulated arms, which can weaken over time.

With 40 Nm, the Orea 50 WT 40/17 is the most powerful model in the series and drives large, wide cassette and folding-arm awnings. We will repair this brake fault for a fixed price so that your awning reliably stays in any position again.

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.

Typical symptoms of a defective brake

• The awning extends and retracts smoothly, but then does not hold the selected position.
• Shortly after stopping, the cloth starts moving outwards again on its own.
• The brake slips under the high arm tension of the wide system.

Frequently asked questions about replacing the motor tube on the Somfy Orea WT 40/17
