Had exactly the same issue. A quick 15 minutes repair saved me from having to buy a new one. Thanks a lot mate!

This broken wire was EXACTLY what caused my Dremel 3000 to suddenly stop working. The fix you demonstrated worked beautifully and helped save my nearly-new Dremel from the trash. Thanks for sharing!

Sir, you have made me fix my dremel without hitting it a hammer or using black magic!

Same issue, wire snapped off the coil at the connector. Ended up positioning it near the connector and then dumping hot solder in the gap to bridge it. Works again. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for this video, I checked mine and it was an open at the terminal. However, it was terminal end of the beginning of the spool, so I had to unwind the wire to get to the damaged end, then manually re-wind the wire. But none the less, it worked. Thank you. I was about to through the unit away and buy a new one. Thank you very much.

Thanks brother. Your video saved my dremel.

Thank you for this video.

Mine suddenly stopped working last year and I just suddenly thought maybe there's a youtube video repair. Thank you.

This worked for me - can't believe the repair was so easy.... I was concentrating so hard, copying your video moment for moment, that when you dropped the camera I leapt out of my skin and nearly wiped out all the bits I had spread neatly on the workbench! Great fix, thanks very much!

You are the proof that Internet streaming media can make a better world! Took me 8mins to repair my Dremel 3000. I take my hat off man!

Thank you for this video.

Just want to give a massive thankyou to you for this....had mine over 2 years broken and only used it once at that. Watched your video and was a broken wire same as this. Back together and working again like new. Thankyou

Not as easy as the cable was wound tightly behind the stack, but still managed it. It's just pot luck which side of the wind goes I guess.

It wasn't so easy to find my broken wire as all wires were in the brackets, but after using a multi-meter I could clearly confirm I had the same problem. I actually had 2 Dremel 3000's fail the same way, with the same problem. Thanks for the helpful video!

Awesome! I actually found a slightly different failure mode, but wouldn’t have found it without your video. One of the motor winding connectors had come out of the receiving block. I only realized it when I looked back down at your video on my phone and noticed the tiny metal part sitting on my screen!

Thank you so much for your video. My Dremel has been U/S for the last 6 months and I had no idea how to fix it. Thanks to your video, it took me exactly 30 mins to fix it. :)

Many thanks for this video, my much loved Dremel 3000 suddenly stopped working, by following this guide I was able to fix it and now working perfectly again, cheers.

Thank you! After six years, I have resurrected my Dremel.

Bro thank you so much for uploading this video!! Was going to buy a new one today but managed to fix it thanks to your help! Much love from New Zealand

Thank you helped revive my favorite tool over 15 yrs old 3000 model. Ended up having to unwind one entire side and re wind it but it fixed it!!!
