Hi Ya-Nvr-No,
 
Have you tried troubleshooting the problem?  When something is doing something obviously wrong like a motor spinning you should trobleshoot why it is spinning. For example is the amplifier being commanded to spin the motor?  Or is the Amplifier being told to be at zero speed?
 
Regards
TK

Two of the motors are the same model (2) SM232AE & (1)CM232DJ = BE model with custom 10' cables.
