The motor inside the OGO™ ORIGIN powers the internal stir system. If it stops working, runs inconsistently, or becomes loud, it can be replaced quickly using basic tools.
What You Need
-
Replacement 12V DC motor (compatible with OGO™ ORIGIN)
-
Phillips screwdriver
-
Flathead screwdriver or small pry tool
-
Wire strippers
-
WAGO® clip or crimp connectors
Process
Disconnect power before doing anything. Open the lid and access the motor area inside the unit. Depending on your version, there may be a small cover or shell to remove. Once open, locate the motor—it's mounted under the solids bin and held in place with screws or a bracket.
Unplug or release the wires from the WAGO® clip. If your motor is hardwired, cut the leads close to the body so you have working length for reconnection. Unscrew the motor and remove it from the housing. Slide in the new motor and resecure it using the original mounting points. Make sure the stir shaft aligns and rotates freely.
Strip the wire ends if needed and reconnect red to red (+12V), black to black (ground). Reuse the WAGO® connector or crimp a secure join. Reconnect power and run a test. The button should trigger a full 45-second cycle. If the motor doesn't start or makes irregular sounds, recheck wire polarity and mounting alignment.
