It has become a sad day, my favorite bagless of all time has just died. I never even got to use it much. I decided to pull it out today, and sweep the bedroom woth it. In a minute or two of running, it started sounding funny, and in the matter of seconds I smell smoke and it starts coming out of the motor housing. As far as I could tell there were no clogs, I had washed the filter after the last time I used it, so it looks like it was just its time to go. I barely ever got to use it, which sucks because I put money into a brush roll and belt for this, cleaned it inside and out, and wanted one of these for years! Not to mention I paod more for this than I normally like to for my sweepers, but it was a bit fo a dream one for me. Rest in peace, Luv200R.

I bet Fantomlightning can fix it. He has a Kompressor himself. | ||

Thanks for the info. I can get to the motor easily enough, actually pretty easy to swap. Problem is I pretty sure the reason why it failed is I used capture powder with it before in the past. At the time I didn't know as much about capture, and the package said you can use it with any sweeper just fine. It was a pain just to get as much out of the system as I had been able to do. Opening up the motor compartment there was fine powder all over, so I'm sure that was its downfall. I would replace the motor myself, being as simple as it is, but it's almost impossible to get all the powder out of the system, so I'm afraid it will just blow another one if I put one in it.

Shoot him an email. He works in a vac shop, so he might fix it. He lives in Ohio though, so expect to pay a bit to ship it to him. | ||
