Hi guys i just got this cleaner,And while using it i noticed considerable differences in sound as i cleaned.When i took the nozzle off to inspect for a foreign object,I noticed that i could wiggle the main spindle (Is that the proper name?It's the thing that turns the belt)by ALOT.I'm assuming bad bearings?And what on earth am i going to have to do to get this cleaner to work?
(By the way i have a donor G4 model in reach). -Alex. | ||

I believe that is a sign of bad bearings but I'm not sure. | ||

Loose spindle? IT could just be a loose spindle tightin it by turning it left,while cripping the fan with neadle nose pliers.Perhaps the fan is missing the back or front washers,I don't see that many G6's with a shot front bearing. Richard new2youvacuums on eBay. | ||

It could also be a sign that the rear bearing support is worn and letting the bearing move around. | ||
