Dremel 4000 Speed control replacement

Hi, I used my 220V Dremel 4000 in the US with any problems for years using a power voltage converter (110V to 220V). A few days ago the speed Dremel started being “weird” I mean it wasn’t consistent with the selected speed. Then a small pop and stopped working. I think the problem is the speed control but here in the US I can only find the 110V version of the speed control. If I use it as replacement will the tool work? Should I attach it to the 110V outlet then?

Thanks

@scanna70 would you have link to this speed controller? Let's see what it does and how it does it.

@scanna70 that would not work. It's a 110V and your Dremel won't run on 110V. Can you post a couple of pictures of your controller? I wonder if we can fix that one. My concern is that if you use a 110V motor controller it may just fail on 220V. I would dislike for you to have USD$30 go up in smoke.

Update (04/29/24)

The Dremel part number for the 220V speed controller is 2610003445

Update (04/29/24)

Just did a quick search for replacements and it is available at places like this or even on here but definitely not cheap :(

@scanna70 you could give that a try. It will not harm it and may just be a bit slower and it might just work. Replace the controller with a 110v controller then run the Dremel on 110v can work

Thanks again for helping me.

The part 2610003445 is the one needed for my Dremel but pretty expensive. Probably is better to buy a new tool.

Last question if I replace the not working part 2610003445 with the 2610004636 and use the tool plugging it to a 110V outlet (I live in the US) will it work or the motor part is different from the 220V and the 110V one?

Thanks

Sorry if I ask again probably you already answered my last question…..

Thanks again

@scanna70 sorry took me a while to understand where you were going with that, now I understand. Sometimes I am a bit slow :-)
