I don't know if I was clear enough in my previous message, therefore just want to clarify that I got an Armature replaced. Thanks |

Well, that machine is just a little over a year old, so it should still be under warranty. If you continue to use it with a bad field, then the new armature you put in it is going to be ruined, if it isn't already. How did you get the armature covered under warranty? The field will have to be replaced, and possibly the armature again as well, if the picture you posted of it is the new armature. If you can't get Kirby service under warranty, then maybe you can find a shop that specializes in electric motors, and they could rebuild your field for you. But I fear that the cost to do that will be astronomical. Good luck.
