Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The motor replacement guide for the MODAL WORCSS6 walks through the process for disassembling the device, removing the motor from its wire connections, and correctly replacing the motor. The motor provides the forces that press and rotate the screw into the cork of your wine bottle (or sparkling apple juice!). The motor should be replaced if the device fails to provide this singular function. Soldering will be required to replace the motor, so check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide if you are unfamiliar with the process.
