Drill Light On, Motor Silent? Don’t Panic, Try These Easy Fixes!

Drill light comes on but not working?

It can be incredibly frustrating when your drill light flickers on, promising functionality, but the motor remains stubbornly silent. Before resigning yourself to a new tool purchase, take a deep breath! There are several simple solutions you can try to get your trusty drill back in action.

Common Culprits and Quick Fixes:

1. Power Source:

• Corded drills: Check for damaged cords, faulty outlets, tripped breakers, or blown fuses.
• Cordless drills: Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted. Try a different battery if available.

1. Chuck Issues: Make sure the chuck is securely tightened around the drill bit. A loose chuck can prevent proper engagement.
2. Switch Malfunction: If the trigger switch feels stuck or unresponsive, try cleaning it with compressed air.
