I Have 2 Faulty Dremel 3000s. Can We Repair Them? 

Thank you so much for helping me fix my dremel. I have only had it for a week and just bought some new tips online when mine went dead on me. I decided to follow what you did and it was exactly the same problem. I fixed it!

I stumbled across this minutes before putting my Dremel in the skip. I am so glad I did ,, you have saved me buying a new one... Brilliant thanks 👍

Thanks so much for posting this detailed video - I had the same issue with a detached piece of wire and fixed it as you showed by soldering some more wire to make the connection again. Delighted 😊

Thanks for helping me fix my dremel, I had the same problem with the copper wire that you had. I uncoiled it a bit to have some slack rather than adding a piece to it, but the dremel works fine again now :) I only regret now watching the entire vid before taking off the stickers, would have cut them in half like you did on the 2nd one if I had known ;)

Brilliant guide - I had exactly the same issue just now and you gave me the confidence to investigate and fix it ...... that means another piece of electrical equipment which won't have to go to the dump !! Thanks a lot :o)

Very helpful, I will attempt to figure why mine quit! Thanks and stay safe.

Thankyou! Same problem mine had. (purchased brand new on Sunday, arrived yesterday!)

Thank you so much this will help me a lot in trying to fix mine.

Excellent video. Just fixed mine, same thing happened. Many Thanks

Goodnight! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It helped me to solve my problem.🇧🇷

Brilliant video, thank you. Alex, Cape Town.

Thanks for this, I had exactly the same issue as your first one "ded", soldered up a tiny piece of copper wire and got my 24ohms. 😁

You can use a hair drier to heat the label glue to remove it. Button would still work. I would get a keyless chuck & get rid of the collet system. All my Dremels have a keyless chuck installed. My oldest Dremel is from 1981, I own 4 - 3 wall plug & 1 battery. In fact after my father tried one, I had to hide the rest. He kept taking them. I'm a model railroader so on some projects I have a couple of Dremels set up for certain repetitive tasks so not to change bits back & forth, just grab the tool set up needed.

I had exactly the same problem- my trusty Dremel 300 suddenly stopped working when I was in the middle of a job, & I immediately rushed out & got a Dremel 4000 to finish it! Then later when I'd calmed down a bit, I took my 300 apart & traced the fault to a bad connection in one of the field coils. Then it developed a problem with the variable speed switch, so it needed one of those as well... So now, I've spent money buying a second Dremel plus the parts to fix the old one... Oh well, I don't mind, as I do love my Dremels. I did at least get some extra accessories when I bought the second one- so then I had to go out & buy a bigger tool box for the extra Dremel & its accessories!! 😝

It's always good to check ourselves tools when they stop working, sometimes we are able to fix them and save some money instead taking that tool to the technician 😊😊. About Dremel number 2, you can make a drill on the metal button, and put a screw in it, give shape to screw's head with a file so it fits into shaft's holes. This way moto tool ends almost like brand made, and tools can be changed as it's meant tio be. Well, that's what I thought to fix it and leave it as original as it can be.

I also have two, a 300 & a 4000. The 300 id my favourite!

Thanks for sharing the video. I had exactly this same issue in my Dremel 3000 and have seen hundreds of Dremels in the internet with this issue of broken wire. It seems to be a design issue.

Interesting video and channel content!

I think you can get a small chuck to fit a Dremel. Ideal for one with the shaft locking pin failure. Alternatively make a short pin tool that’s easy to hold against the tool in the palm of your hand. Thanks for the really useful video. 👍 PS, use some nail varnish to lacquer the bare wire. You can buy enamelled wire of course. An insulation check would be a good idea after that sort of work.

thanks! i repaired my dremel doing the continuity test. the enamel wirings ends seems to break easily if the the motor got stuck. unfortunaly i had to solder those wires directly to the metal connector. we have to watch out to not let solder into those 4 connectors cavities, if so, the head piece won't fit correctly.

I was given the same model to repair. The same fault was discovered. I didn't extend the wire, but simply...well 'almost' simply...unravelled one loop that left me with enough to terminate it with the press in connector. I guess this problem is fracture caused by vibration of the core. I added a couple drops of cyano to the wire, and the same for the other three.

great video a multi metre would be handy time to learn RATHER THAN JUST REPLACE PARTS to use one THANKS FOR SHARING

Put the multichuck from the fully working one on the other one with the faulty locking button?

I have a 3000 model, and have this strange problem. Last week ran great, i did some work with it, and today, i wanted to cut something with it. It worked like a minute, than it started going really slow. If i trey higher speed, it will go a bit faster with each speed, but still going slow and it’s impossible to cut anything. I tryed the brushes first, but they seem fine. Any idea on what might be wrong ?

Burned through 4 dremels each time getting a higher number each time thinking they might be built better. Wow was I wrong!

drill a small hole through the shaft leave the button and retainer out then put back together and use a rod to run thru the shaft to lock the shaft.

The Armature and Stator of Dremel Model 395 and Dremel 3000 the same size? it is possible can fit this armature and stator into Dremel 395? thank you.

dremel didnt think about quality when producing it

Could you possibly drill through the shaft to make tightening and loosening better ?

At least you didn't have the hated 4200 model, with the quick change chuck that NEVER worked. The 3000 is the update of my 395VX. That stator winding must have been nicked during assembly and broke due to vibration. That shaft lock, looks like an interference fit on the main shaft, rather than all one piece. Wonder if that can be replaced.

i bought mine in juli hardly used it because of corona now i got 2 jabs there deciding to have a lockdown i got the mini router not a proper router but i think i must of pressed the button on chuck by mistake and now the chuck wont come undone my friend has a 800 battery model he use cable crimpers to unlock it i ordered two new springs with bolt but your idea better probaly to drill a new hole in it then push a nail threw it would be a idea

I've had the 3000 and it died on me while it was still new, Dremel makes sluppy job manufacturing those stators.

This is the second video showing the same problem as the Dremel 3000, it happened to me exactly the same. Thanks for your instructions. But is it possible that the exact same problem happens in three cases and maybe also to others ?!

Well the rotary multi-tool from Dremel it's expensive and furthermore, it's single use I have also a rotary multi-tool but from Skil and I have no problems with that tool until now!

As I can't solder. Could I just uncoil some wire and feed it through?

Dremel supply the collet locking ring and pin as a spare part for about £5

Find a drill bit that will fit in the hole in the shaft.. less chance of slipping out of the hole.

The plastic nose cap went lose ( thread) . Is ther any way i can fix it please?

Has anyone noticed that the speed/power switch is slightly erratic at lower speeds (between 2 & 4)? Mine occasionally won't even start spinning. I have to go back to "power off" and again to 2. Also, once the selector is at 2, the speed seems to change on its own over time. Not by a lot, nevertheless, it's inconsistent, and it keeps increasing on its own. It's my second Dremel. I sent the first one back for exactly that reason. Is that anyone else's experience? Thanks

I had a 4000, minimal use, it just stopped working, my pal has one he said he's used it twice, tops, I used it maybe 3 or 4 times and that's stopped too.... Now I see theres Stacks of people who's dremels just stop working..... I bet an Aldi Special would of lasted longer.... Bad tool... Bad company !

This English demo is a breath of fresh air those Americans need to watch and learn how to educate properly. Stop rabbiting on and show us what to do as in demonstrating and less chit chat and defo NO ROCK MUSIC

"dead" 🤣

Put it on a flexi shaft problem solved

Punch that rod, my machine has the same problem as you, and I punctured the rod

i won,t buy another one.

Need to check the brushes first

awful, losing the will to live

Do not wnt to keep fixing junk, I need a tool that is reliable! Never buying any dremels anymore! They are cheap junk!

These are garbage, terrible design/build quality, buy a different make
