The motor in my black and decker matrix cordless drill just up and quit working. How can I fix it?

@babygirl2014 , Stephanie Dedear, If still under warranty return for replacement/repair/refund. If you were just using it a short time and it was not operating hot, it could possibly be a faulty trigger or bad connection internally. If not under warranty and you know the battery was good and charged, you will have to disassemble the drill to locate the issue of why it will not work. Once apart you can look and test for damaged/burnt/loose wires/connectors/etc., test the trigger with a DVOM to see if it is faulty and test the motor with a couple jumper wires from battery to motor contacts to see if it is functioning or burnt out. I posted a few links that may help the 1st link is to disassembly guides of various drills, 2nd and 3rd links you may possibly get parts from. Good luck.

My 3-year-old LD20 stopped working. Pushing on the trigger didn’t help. I took it apart and everything looked OK; I could not get into the trigger assy. The solder connections looked good. So I reseated the four push tab connections using contact cleaner spray and re-assembled. That solved the problem and it works great

most likely you can’t. the motor is “brushless,” meaning the brushers are international. the motor is all cast metal, one piece, the brushers are probably cracked. the same thing happened to mine. the skill saw atachment, i think, puys too much stress on the motor when you rip anything longer than a few inches.
