Milwaukee Hammer Drill 240420 E28D 2016: The tool doesn't work when I try to drill

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 02:12:07 -0700

I have an issue with my milwaukee 2404-20 E28D. The LED turns on but the motor doesn’t spin,

I need to “wake up” the tool by switching the direction selector,

Sometimes it only starts if I press very hard or at a certain angle,Anyone has/had this issue? Any solution? Thanks

Milwaukee 5380-21: Hammer drill Intermittently Works

This like new powerful 1/2” Milwaukee 5380-21 corded hammer drill rarely will turn on. When it does, it seems full power. 120volt ac is ALWAYS measured on both sides of both brushes when switch is depressed, but only rarely will it run. It’s completely dead, no click, no hum, no heat, no smoke! Brushes look smooth and almost new. Armature appears smooth, but I have not dismantled. I’m convinced the switch is OK. What’s my problem?
