Hi Steve,
Thank you for your enquiry, normally if a 230v motor hums then it is the capacitor that has failed. I would advise you to swap the capacitors over from the working motor to the motor that is jamming and see if the fault moves to the other motor. I would also advise you to reprogram the open and close limits on the board to see if that helps with the problem.
If the system was working fine for a long period of time before this motor started to cause problems then i wouldn't of thought it will be a problem with motor force. If you are going to adjust the force to the motors then you will have to pay attention to the safety on that system to make sure it meets up to date legislation to gate safety and machinery directive. Hope this is usefull information for you.
