Micromaster 420 repair and refurbishment
The Micromaster 420 (MM420) is the basic speed control version of the Micromaster range, covering 0.12 kW to 11 kW. Used widely in simple conveyor and pump applications, many MM420 units are now over ten years old and beginning to show age-related component failures.
Common Micromaster 420 faults we fix
-
Power board failure causing an immediate trip on startup — typically IGBT or rectifier bridge failure following a supply transient
-
Cooling fan failure leading to thermal shutdown in warm environments, often misdiagnosed as a motor or wiring problem
-
DC bus capacitor degradation causing irregular undervoltage trips or reduced stopping performance
-
Display panel and keypad failure preventing parameter access on drives installed in poorly accessible locations

Micromaster 420 repair FAQs
My Micromaster 420 is tripping on overtemperature in a cool environment — what could cause this?
In a cool environment, an overtemperature trip usually indicates a failed cooling fan or a blocked heatsink. We check both during the bench diagnostic before attributing the fault to a power stage issue.
Do you repair Micromaster 420 drives that are no longer available new from Siemens?
Yes. The MM420 is discontinued, but we regularly repair these drives using compatible components. We assess parts availability before confirming work.
Can you replace the BOP keypad on a Micromaster 420?
Yes. If the Basic Operator Panel (BOP) has failed, we can source and fit a compatible replacement as part of the repair or as a standalone job.
