Hey guys I have a rather large problem. My grandma's Electrolux Discovery III power nozzle isn't running very well. We put in the new double helix Aerus brush roll per our vacuum shops suggestion about a year ago. It has been cleaning a lot better but now the motor is beginning to slow. It will start normally, and almost be struggling to turn the brush after about ten minutes. Is there anything I can do about this besides by a new motor?

replace the motor

I have noticed the old brush motors after 20+ years don't have the ump they used to and will start to slow and bind when a new roller is introduced into the equation. A new motor would fix it up in no time and probably make it clean better when partnered with the new brush roll.

Alright thanks for the advice. My only issue is the expense of a new motor. Oh well, I'll have to hunt one down on eBay. Thank you though.
