Today I bought a Hoover Tempo "HOOVER ELITE STYLE" from a thrift store and it seems to have a very noticeable grinding sound coming from the motor. Now I did check the fan and its not in the best condition its a bit chewed up, but I don't believe its in bad enough shape to make this noise being as laud and noticeable as it is. The noise is lauder on shut down witch makes me think its something inside the motor that's the problem. I would be very thankful for any advice you may have. Thanks vacuumland!

The bearings are shot. the grinding is the bearing balls rubbing excessively. You might be able to get away with cleaning any gunk out of them and regreasing them to keep it alive for a while. | ||

Tempo Just my opinion since I never like to let a machine die....if you like the machine don't get rid of it, finding a used motor or even one of of Ebay is not very hard. I got a Eureka Bravo that had the same problem. I went to my vac local vac shops graveyard and found a motor and now it works like brand new. | ||
