Rating is 5.0 out of five stars based on 6 reviews

Somfy Orea WT tubular motor repair – specialist company for electronic awning motors with limit-setting technology
Important note – repair service
This offer is exclusively a repair service. No tubular motor is sold.
The subject of the contract is the professional repair of the tubular motor sent in by the customer. The motor sent in remains the property of the customer at all times.
By sending in the motor, the customer commissions the repair service and demands that this begins before the cancellation period expires.

 

Your Somfy tubular motor tells:

“I was the motor that knew when to stop – thanks to my electronic limit settings.”

“With Thomas Reh I learned how to stop exactly again – gently, precisely and reliably for my awning.”

 

The electronic Somfy motor for awnings

The Orea WT motors from Somfy are among the electronic controlled drives that were specially developed for cassette awnings and counter-pull systems. They combine precise limit-setting technology with robust mechanics and ensure exact stopping points when retracting and extending the awning.

Thanks to the electronic limit settings detection, the setting is permanently retained and can be re-parameterized if necessary. The motors run particularly smoothly and have a long service life, ideal for high-quality awning constructions and applications with counter-pull mechanisms.

Every repair is tested by a specialist company, tested electronic and carried out with the original setting parameters for awning drives - “tested” for the next outdoor use.

 

Advantages compared to a new purchase

  • Sustainable: Environmentally friendly repairs instead of buying new ones – proven electronics remain in use.
  • Cost-saving: Repair cheaper than buying new, no conversion or new control required.
  • Automatic limit positions: After the repair, the electronic limit settings detection remains intact - if no factory setting was necessary.
  • Reliable: Electronics are tested and ensure precise limit position adjustment for awnings and counter-pull systems.
  • Compatible: Suitable for awning systems with WT control or external timer technology.

 

This repair applies to the following error patterns

  • The awning extends, but only retracts with slight pressure
  • Motor runs, hums or responds with a delay
  • Clear “clack” noise when changing direction

 

Repair process

  • An order: Select the appropriate motor model and complete the order.
  • Sending: Send in the defective motor properly packaged (shipping costs for buyer).
  • Repair: Professional repairs within 1-2 working days.
  • Return shipping: Return shipping is generally possible, but only at the usual package costs if the motor sent in is packaged in a stable, space-saving and safe manner for transport. In the case of bulky or inadequate packaging (e.g. tube or bulky goods boxes), I reserve the right to invoice the additional costs of return shipping separately.

 

Processing time & shipping time

  • The motor will be repaired no later than the following working day after receipt of the goods.
  • The return usually takes place within another working day.
  • Processing time may vary depending on platform and shipping method; exact information will be provided when the order is placed.

 

Important requirements

  • Repair only for selected Somfy models (see variant list)

  • No repairs in the event of total damage (e.g. water damage, burnt out windings, defective gears or brakes, as well as overvoltage damage)

  • The motor must not have been opened or tampered with

 

Product safety and quality

All repairs are carried out in accordance with the relevant safety standards and ensure that the motor functions properly. Changes to the house installation may only be made by qualified electricians.

 

Service & Extras

Upon request, I offer a rental cable for adjusting or resetting the motor. Please contact us in advance.

 

Warranty

A statutory warranty of 2 years applies exclusively to the installed spare parts.

A warranty on the entire motor or other components is excluded.

 

Sustainability & Second Life

Every repair extends the lifespan of your motor, reduces electronic waste and saves valuable resources.

In our “Second Life” section you will also find refurbished motors as a replacement solution.

  • Tubular motor fault diagnosis

    Troubleshooting promise for tubular motors
    Is your tubular motor no longer responding, only moving briefly or acknowledging it with a typical “clack” noise? Not every fault means the unit is beyond economical repair.

    In many cases, motors can be sent in and repaired directly. However, if the error patterns are unclear or borderline, I recommend a brief preliminary phone consultation. This makes it possible to assess in advance whether a repair seems realistic or whether there may be a total loss.

    Following prior consultation, my fault-diagnosis guarantee applies: I carefully assess the submitted tubular motor for repairability. If a repair is technically impractical or not economically viable, you will only be charged the agreed fault-diagnosis fee of €25 plus possible return shipping.

    In any case, you will receive a transparent professional assessment and then decide for yourself how to proceed.

     

    Frequently asked questions about tubular motor diagnosis

    Do I have to call before each submission?
    No. Many motors can be sent in directly. However, if the error patterns are unclear or unusual, a telephone consultation is recommended.

    When does the fault-diagnosis guarantee apply?
    The promise applies after prior agreement if repairability is to be tested.

    What happens in the event of a total loss?
    If a repair is not worthwhile, you will only be charged the fault-diagnosis fee of €25 plus possible return shipping.

  • Adjustment and reset cable rental for motors

    Resetting a tubular motor and setting the limit positions – optional adjustment cable rental
    To restore the factory settings or readjust the limit positions, many 230 V tubular motors may require an adjustment cable. This is particularly useful when the reset sequence has to be activated at the circuit breaker (fuse) and the motor is neither visible nor within hearing distance.

    Many drives confirm the reset with a clicking sound or a brief movement of the motor. A universal adjustment and reset cable available for rental lets you carry out commissioning or resetting in a more controlled manner without repeatedly moving between the motor and the fuse box.

    The rental cable is not included with this motor offer, but can be ordered separately from the shop, subject to availability.
