SMT components on a PCB that is apparentlyu molded to the motor. Keep the motor for spare parts is about all I can offer in the way of advice.
You can return any Novak motor---working or not---and have it replaced with the same version rmf for about 35.00 or upgraded to a different wind rmf motor for about 45.00.
