Dead Angle Grinder

[ColoradoDoug]

I have a Milwaukee 4.5" angle grinder that stopped working. I replaced the brushes that were worn. Still nothing. I replaced the switch and still nothing. Ideas? Nothing seems burned and there was no warning when it stopped.

Look for a loose connection?

check the cord?

Send it to me I'll dispose of it properly.
Joking aside check the cord connections inside of the grinder and make sure you connected everything right,you could of misconnected a wire.

Check the plug(the one that goes into the wall receptacle), repeated flexing may break the wire conductors internally, but look good.

When you replaced the brushes did you clean up the contacts on the armature where the brushes contact?

Bingo, that's My bet.

Have you got a multimeter ? and you know supply is good and not tripped out?

check volts are getting thru ( carefully) at the grinder end of the cable
Check switch continuity
Check brush feed
If the supply is all good and you haven't electrocuted yourself , it just leaves the armature or the stator is bad
