Somfy Oximo RTS 30/17 replacement motor: repairing defective radio electronics

Repair for the Somfy Oximo RTS 30/17 ( 5005463 ) radio-controlled roller shutter motor, the powerful 30 Nm version of the Oximo RTS series for large and heavy roller shutters. If the fault lies in the radio electronics, we will replace the radio circuit board with a tested, used one and renew the motor capacitor. We will reuse the intact parts of your motor, which is why the fixed price remains €69 instead of buying a new one.

When this exchange is the right thing to do

This repair fixes defects in the radio electronics in the motor head. Typical symptoms:

  • The motor no longer responds to the transmitter and cannot be put into operation even after a factory reset.
  • The motor only runs in one direction; in the other direction it merely clicks.
  • The radio range has decreased significantly; the motor only reacts at distances of less than 20 meters.

This is how we repair your motor

We only replace what's defective. In this case, that's the radio control board in the motor head. We'll replace it with a tested, used radio control board and also replace the motor capacitor. The rotor, stator, brake, and gearbox inside your motor tube are intact and will remain in place. You'll get your own motor back, fully functional. This saves resources, is particularly sustainable, and more cost-effective than a new drive unit.

When another service is suitable

If the fault is not with the radio electronics, cheaper repairs will help.

If the motor is humming or no longer moves upwards, repairing the Oximo RTS 30/17 is the right course of action.

If the brake no longer holds and the curtain rolls off by itself, the brake repair of the Oximo RTS 30/17 will help.

Requirements

For repair, please send us your Oximo RTS 30/17. The motor must not have been previously opened, mechanically damaged, become damp, or be assembled from multiple motors.

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.

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.

You will receive this

  • Fixed price of €69, plus €6.99 shipping.
  • Tested, used radio circuit board and new motor capacitor
  • Your own motor is retained; rotor, stator, brake and gearbox remain intact.
  • 24-month warranty on the replaced parts
  • Invoice after successful repair, return shipping after payment is received.

This repair applies to the Somfy Oximo RTS 30/17 with reference 5005463.

Do I need to adjust anything after the replacement?

Yes. The replaced control electronics are in factory condition. After installation you pair your transmitters again and set the end limits again. The drive is then precisely matched to your installation once more.
