Hi all.... I have a bit of a problem.... Has anyone else had a problem with the motors on the CV-2001 tumbler.
I bought the CV-2001 to replace a 12 year old Hornady tumbler that finally gave up the ghost. Since I do larger cases (.50 BMG) I thought that the Dillon would be a better bet because of its size and Dillon has a reputation as being a good brand. So..... I got the tumbler from a Dillon dealer and at 1 year mark the motor calves :(
I call the dealer and he says to call Dillon. So I call Dillon and there is no warranty on the motor because it is over 1 year old. I take the motor to my local small electric motor repair place and they tell me that the sealed bearings have broken open and allowed dirt to enter thereby causing the meltdown. As the bearing are non-replaceable I now have a nice plastic bird bath and no clean cases...
Has anyone else had a similar situation?
I would think that the Dillon would last longer than a year since my cheaper Hornady did some tough work and lasted 12....
Now to look for a new tumbler......

The warranty on electric/electronic components is indeed one year. For out of warranty motors, we will replace the motor for $104.95, which includes return shipping.

Mine went out also just after a year, and with very little use,i think they had some problems with that motor, and probably corrected now, they replaced mine with no problem. I had less than 40 hours run time and they replaced it. Thats Dillon

Same problem with both my OLD one and the NEW one. Called and was told to ship them at my expense to them for inspection. I found the motor at an HVACR Supply store in town and replaced them both for $75, now I'm back up running 50's again.
