GORING-KERR Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GORING-KERR product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Goring-Kerr Soft Starters
Electromechanical and electronic soft-start units for three-phase induction motors. Common issues include thermal overload trips, phase imbalance detection faults, and worn contactor assemblies. Used extensively in sugar mills and textile dyeing operations across India.
Goring-Kerr Power Contactors
Heavy-duty AC contactors rated 25A to 630A for switching high-inrush loads. Susceptible to coil winding degradation, contact burning under fault currents, and mechanical wear of the armature mechanism. Widely used in motor control centres across Indian cement and steel plants.
Goring-Kerr Electronic Control Modules
Logic and timing modules for sequence control, pump automation, and process interlocking. Typical faults include capacitor bank failure, relay coil burnout, and printed circuit board solder joint cracking from thermal cycling in hot mill environments.
Goring-Kerr Thermal Overload Relays
Bimetal and electronic overload protection devices for motor circuits. Common failures involve bi-metal strip calibration drift, heater element oxidation, and trip mechanism jamming. Critical for safety in Indian textile and paper mills.
Goring-Kerr Isolation Switches
Visible-break knife switches and rotary isolators for safe equipment isolation. Prone to corrosion of silver contacts in humid coastal and mill environments, spring weakness in operating mechanism, and handle detent failure.
Goring-Kerr Time-Delay Relays
Pneumatic and electronic timing relays for coordinated motor starting, conveyor sequences, and safety shutdowns. Motor-driven cam timers suffer from synchronous motor failures; electronic versions experience oscillator instability and output contact welding.

Common GORING-KERR Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GORING-KERR equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Soft-starter thermal shutdown on cold start — Goring-Kerr GSS series thermal sensor calibration drift or faulty thermistor network causes false overtemperature trips before motor acceleration completes. Common in Indian sugar mills where ambient temperatures exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
- ✓Contactor chatter and failure to pull-in — Goring-Kerr CJX series contactors develop weakened solenoid coils due to age, moisture ingress, or sustained undervoltage conditions common in Indian rural industrial areas with unstable 3-phase supply.
- ✓Overload relay nuisance tripping — Goring-Kerr TOR bimetal strips lose calibration when exposed to repeated thermal cycling in mill environments; heater element resistance drifts from oxidation and moisture. Causes phantom shutdowns of motors with stable load.
- ✓Control module oscillation and relay chatter — Goring-Kerr ECM series electronic control modules develop failing output relays with contact bounce, and timing capacitors lose capacitance. Leads to erratic sequence control and unplanned equipment shutdowns in textile automation.
- ✓Isolation switch handle stuck or loose — Goring-Kerr ISO series rotary switches suffer spring relaxation, detent pin shearing, and corrosion of the operating mechanism linkage in high-humidity coastal facilities and sugar mills with wet process dust.
- ✓Time-delay relay incorrect timing or no delay — Goring-Kerr pneumatic TDR units develop air leaks in tubing and needle valve orifice blockages from dust contamination. Electronic TDR oscillators drift or fail due to aged tantalum capacitors and thermistor drift in hot pump houses.

Frequently Asked Questions — GORING-KERR Repairs
Do you repair Goring-Kerr equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete Goring-Kerr industrial control range - soft-starters, contactors, overload relays, control modules, isolation switches, and timing relays. We offer pan-India door-to-door pickup service from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, and all industrial cities. Repair is completed in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility and returned with full warranty.
How long does Goring-Kerr soft-starter repair typically take?+
Standard Goring-Kerr soft-starter repairs (thermal sensor recalibration, contactor replacement, capacitor bank service) are completed in 3-5 working days at Synchronics. Complex solenoid rewind work or PCB-level repairs may require 7-10 days. We prioritise urgent mill breakdowns and offer expedited turnaround on request.
Are Goring-Kerr spares readily available in India?+
Original Goring-Kerr spares are increasingly difficult to source in India as the brand has limited current distribution. Synchronics maintains a stock of common replacement components including solenoid coils, thermal sensors, contactors, and relay modules. We also source authorised equivalents from approved suppliers that meet or exceed Goring-Kerr engineering standards.
What is the typical cost of repairing a Goring-Kerr soft-starter unit?+
Goring-Kerr soft-starter repair costs range from 8,000 to 25,000 rupees depending on fault severity and spare component requirements. Minor thermal sensor calibration may cost 8,000-12,000 rupees. Major contactor or capacitor replacement typically runs 15,000-25,000 rupees. Synchronics provides free diagnosis and written quotation before any repair commences.
Can Synchronics repair legacy Goring-Kerr switchgear from the 1990s?+
Absolutely. Synchronics specialises in restoring classic Goring-Kerr control panels and switchgear installed in Indian sugar mills, textile units, and cement plants over the past three decades. Our engineers have deep experience with vintage Goring-Kerr relay logic, contactor assemblies, and thermal protection circuits. We document work thoroughly and ensure equipment meets modern safety standards before return to service.
How do I send my GORING-KERR unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a GORING-KERR drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on GORING-KERR repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your GORING-KERR unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
