milk frother Aerolatte

Introduction

After two years of use the whisk of our milk frother turned only slowly. It could be stopped with one finger. I found an instruction that suggested to change the polarity of the motor by exchanging the connection cables. This worked with our two milk frothers.

A red and a blue cable connect the motor and a plug. Pull out the plug from the circuit board.

Step 3

On one side of the plug you see two slots. You can see the cable shoes in there.
With something pointed (eg. watchmaker's screwdriver) you press in one slot to open the cable shoe's locking catch. At the same time you pull on the cable.
Do the same with the second cable.
Exchange the position of the cables and push the cable shoes back in the plug.

Step 4

The milk frother is re-assambled in reverse order.
Plug in the device, fill in some liquid an press the "cold foam" button. Now the motor should turn again. At the first time it might be necessary to give a little push by hand. The motor speed increases fast and remains.
