When I turn on my Kirby with the house or power nozzel on I will hear a extreamly high pitched noise like the vacuum is "screaming" I have no clue what the problem is. The fan and mother shaft spin freely. I've never in countered this problam .

I think the bearings must be going out...

David,

That would involve having to disassemble the motor unit and then removing the armature. You will need a fan removal tool or an ice pick and then to place that down the vent hole so that while you remove the fan (clockwise will get it off as it is reverse threaded) the armature assembly won't move with it.
