I have a F/Q Model 700 and it runs well and sounds strong when it is runing. When I turn the vac off, the motor makes a grrinding sound in the last 3 to 5 seconds of it winding down. Is that a worn motor bearing or worn brushes? or?? |

Brad, I'm not sure what would make that sound, but my guess would be the bearings. Sam |

I never had any luck with lamb motor bearing replacement,they sound just as bad with the new bearings.I recommend installing a new motor and your machine will be like new again.Lamb make the replacement motor which is not to expensive. |
