Here is link to unit like ours, for sale: https://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/DAYTON-Cast-Iron-5W630
Issue: Dryer blower in mens room
startsup only after multiple presses
of button, or, strong slam of button
or two.
What is causing it to not start after
one press every time? There are
no discussions of this issue with
this blower on line, anywhere.

Failing armature, commutator or brushes in the motor.
Maybe other things. But that's where I'd look first.

Thanks Jouke, Clifford:
These machines are so
ubiquitous you'd think
there would be tons of
threads about them, and
service manuals online.

Or just replace it with a paper towel dispenser.....
The towels work without drying your hands on your pants before using
that worthless hand dryer.....

If cheap knock-off, buy a better quality unit.

brand called 'World Dryer'.
A youtube video shows a synchronous motor in the guts of the timer.

Could the motor be needing some lubrication to overcome starting inertia?
