DeWalt DW235G Troubleshooting

Trigger is having trouble processing power and can get stuck and unresponsive.

Springs are made with a thin metal that can become weak over time. If this occurs then a trigger replacement will be your best option using this guide: [placeholder]

The drill will start to spin with less or more than intended. It is very uncontrollable and unpredictable.

The trigger box is the block located behind the trigger that acts as an intermediary between the power cord and the drill mechanism. A faulty trigger box may result in malfunctions such as no power or a sticky trigger. A faulty trigger box will not power the drill when the trigger is pulled or there. The trigger box may be malfunctioning and may need to be replaced. See the following guide to replace the trigger box [place holder].

The drill will not respond to power or the drill does not spin when trigger is pulled when plugged in.

The power cord can be frayed or cut that stops the flow of power into the drill. The power cord may need to be replaced if the drill does not respond to power. See following guide to replace the power cord. [placeholder]

The drill needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet to be powered. Ensure the outlet is not faulty and supplies enough power to the drill.

The drill bit falls out or the chuck wont tighten around the drill bit or the chuck won't release the drill bit.

The Drill chuck is no longer holding the Drill Bit in place, While in use the Bit will begin slipping out of the Drill. [placeholder]

A faulty motor can cause the chuck to spin slowly or not at all, overloading the motor or wearing out the brushes within the motor can cause the motor to fail. In either case, the motor will need to be replaced.

The chuck on your DeWalt drill is worn out, dirty, and grimy, or it is not locking properly. To resolve the issue, clean your drill, replace the chuck, or, if more cost-effective, purchase a new drill.[placeholder]

The transmission may be the issue if the motor is running but the chuck is not spinning. Make sure the gearbox is on the required gear and not in-between gears, if it still won't spin the transmission may be broken and need to be replaced.

Drill makes noise when in use or drill heats up considerably when in use.

While the Drill is being used it begins to heat up to where it's almost untouchable. The heat is originating from where the motor is within the Drill. [placeholder]

The Drill begins to make a grinding sound while it is being used. This may be due to the fact that the components of the motor are either damaged or broken and are colliding with each other while the Drill is in use.[placeholder]

lubrication may also be another factor as the lubricant may be low causing the grinding noises. [placeholder]
