Loks, does the motor spin in only one direction by design? Was it connected in series with one of the wires feeding the motor, or was it connected between (across) the two wires connected to it?

It was just connected on the red wire in shrink tubing

That is very strange... but the diode is probably there to prevent the back flow of current from the motor as it slows down its spin when its turned off.
In that case, an ordinary 1N4004 or even a 1N4148 should do the trick, just make sure you connect it in the proper orientation, or the motor won't even start.

And yes it spins in one direction but it if it were to spin the other way it wouldnt affect the machine from performing

will do thanx alot for ur help i really appropriate it buddy

What physical size does the diode have? It's body, I mean. That way I can point you to several options.

Its about a lil then half a metric

A 1N4004 oughta do the trick:

They're extremely cheap, and quite common in their use, so I suggest you buy at least 20 of them suckers for you to have spares.

I cant thank u enought for all the help you've given me.. will those work the same even tho they dont look like the ones i originally had on the machine? Same thing just a differnt look not bein orange with a black strip

They should work just fine, and maybe better since they have more current capability in them, with very little voltage drop.

Thanx alot for all the help ima order a few so ill keep u updated wen i get them hope u enjoy the rest of ur day

 

Could it be a LL4148 ?

Loks, one more thing. Could you measure the voltage being delivered to the motor via the connector pins at the board? That is, the voltage between wires before they're connected to the diode?

 

I'm thinking that your power supply might be 12VDC, and according to what I found about your motor after doing some Googling, that thing is rated to run at 5 to 6VDC. So your diode might be a standard 5.1V zener after all. Anyway, since a 1N4004 has a voltage drop of 1.1V, you can get the same results by connecting six of them in series.

EDIT: changed quantity of diodes in series from five to six

 

I broke my zener diode ...

What makes you think it was a zener diode?
