Yes, my friends single speed Henry did EXACTLY the same thing after being used for a while, it's the capacitor inside. It seems common in older vacs. Either replace or bypass the capacitor and it will hopefully work again:) | ||

I think I have all the wires etc from the switch to the motor from a single speed Henry, I'll include that with the Henry handle when I get it sent, and you can see if its any use to you:) George | ||

It usually happens if damp has penetrated the capacitor. | ||

Well joe, on this Henry the capacitor is connected to the wires at the switch... But that's from a 2002 model. Where is it on yours ? | ||

Oh of course! Yours has a power nozzle socket, mine doesn't. That explains! I keep meaning to get the Henry handle out of the loft, you'll just have to bear with me on that! George | ||

I just opened up my good Henry HVC200 (that I bought a while ago) and the suppressor has cracked on that one too, and when I opened it I got a slight burning smell from it, although I can't smell this when it's running/assembled. It's working fine but I'm wondering if I should leave it as it is, because I don't want it to be dangerous :(
Thanks, Joe | ||
