    Remove the zener diode (D3). It will limit the gate voltage to 9.1 volts not enough for the mosfet total conduction.
    It is the case to use a flyback diode across the motor

    Why do complicated while life could be way easier... if the goal is just to drive motor(inductive load) with PWM, the above circuit have few problem indeed. I would never use a Mosfet without a MOSFET driver IC, or without any Push-Pull setup... at least for high current load...

    Still doable to use Logic level Mosfet directly connected to the PIC.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Thanks aratti and mister for your replies, I remove the zener after it's damaged and I'm putting the flyback diode , I know that IC drivers is better than I make a driver alone , but in our country It's a big problem to get IC's from any country because there are problems in ports and transportation.
    Is there a professional circuit for mosfet gate driver and driver for mosfet handling 110V and 3A please help !

    Default mosfet

    aratti,
    what is wrong with D3 in general ? It is good to protect gate to less than 20v although the driver is only 12v. Also I think that the free-wheeling diode across the motor has to be a FAST SWITCHING type, otherwise the diode will not totally limit the fly-back voltage to the mosfet.
