Ryobi belt sander repair

of years on a shelf. Now it does not run at all, nothing happens with
I press the switch.
My question is what is the most likely culprit in that sander? Brushes
maybe?

you forgot to plug it in.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After you plug it in, if it still does not run, try nudging the rotor
slightly. That may seat the brushes or dislodge some dirt particles.

OK, that sounds like a plan.
Otherwise I will take it apart and will go through it with a
multimeter.

If it was working when it was put on the shelf, then I'd start with the
switch and then the brushes. It's possible that accumulated dust has worked
its way into the switch or perhaps the brushes.

I would start with the switch. I have a Ryobi (Craftsman) belt sander
that wore the switch out just last week. It's a German switch that
doesn't have very good dust protection so I'll be sealing it up better
with some Shoe Goo. The switch literally burned one of the contacts
due to dust buildup.

Spend some time with a blow gun first.

Smack it on something first. Then try the other stuff.
I own one. Every now and then it needs a smack.

Yep, "smacking" and several related tricks "did it". Thanks to all.

Another "trick:" paying the electric bill. ;-)

Pressing the ON button also helps...

If its a Ryobi I'd be spending a lot of time swearing at it.

Reminds me of that old Jeff Foxworthy joke.
You might be a redneck if you have two TV's on top of each other. One for
the picture and one for the sound.
That was exactly the situation in one of my apartments in my youth.

More likely the power cord. They usually break just where they enter
the appliance - sometimes at the plug if you pulled it out by the
cord.
Otherwise it could be a number of things and a meter is your friend.

console televisions make nice stands for TVs that still work.

Ran into that in a motel in 1971, three TV's, one for picture(B&W),
one for sound and one for lousy picture and terrible sound for when
one or the other of the first two failed completely.
