Default Re: Heat sinking grease?

They are synchronous motors and they often fail mechanically rather than electrically I found. As you say, they hold the valve open against the spring.
The grease could simply be gear grease that has melted and been drawn between the motor and plate by capillary action. I have never seen heat compound in one
