Hi.
I have a hoover 700 that runs perfectly except the fan rubs against the bottom at times. When i try to connect the belt to the pulley the motor just humms and the fan dosen't spin at all. I have tried to have a look as best i know how but i dont want to risk damage to the motor. I wont ask here as no vac shop will even look at it anyway as it runs on 110v and won't work ouside my appartment without a voltage transformer.
I am tempted to ship the motor to my mom's house and get her to take it to her local vac shop so they can try to service it. Electrically the motor sounds great but the fan won't spin when belt is installed.
Any tips before i ship motor to mother??
Gary. |

Scrapping the motor and buying another might be your only choice. I have a motor repair shop close by my house though, so if you want, you could ship it to me and ill see what they can do. I doubt they could do anything though. |

HI HOOVERCELEBRITY.
THIS SITE IS A GREAT ONE FOR VAC QUESTIONS BUT OVER HERE IN THE U.K THERE ARE TOO MANY YOUNGSTERS ON THIS SITE. PLASTIC RUBBISH DYSON COLLECTORS.
I MESSAGED POCONOVACMAN TO SEEI IF HIS FRIEND CAN HELP. HE POSTED A THREAD WHERE A BICENTENIAL CONVERTABLE WAS BEING REBUILT. THE MAN WAS GREASING THE LOWER BEARING SO MAYBE JUST MAYBE HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING IF I CAN GET THE NAME AND NUMBER OF HIS SHOP. THE GUY PLAINLY KNOWS HOW TO SERVICE VACS SO HE WOULD BE JUST WHAT I NEED.
I WOULD LIKE TO POST THE MOTOR TO HIM SOMETIME IF I CAN'T FIND ANOTHER MOTOR. MY 700 IS REALLY A NICE EXAMPLE MADE BETTER BY FELLOW VACLANDER PORTABLE SENDING ME A 700 BADGE. MANY THANKS FOR THAT JOHN.
FOR NOW IT RUNS TIL A BELT GOES NEAR IT. NO BEATS AS IT SWEEPS AS IT CLEANS FOR THIS 700. AT LEAST FOR NOW. IF YOU HAPPEN TO COME ACCROSS A MOTOR PLEASE LET ME KNOW. |

Does your machine run on 110 or 220? |

had this problem i got round it by turning the bearing round so the worn side was facing away from the brushroll what i mean is when refitting the brushroll and belt the tension of the belt is now pulling against the good side of the bearing i know this is not really a repair but it worked for me oh and just for the record i am 57 definately not a teenager i wish i was though ha

Mine came from california. Runs on 110. I could take it to southern counties electrics here but i would just get the same answer. "would not know how to repair that". If i have to post the motor to the states i will if i can't find another 700 motor.
I do have a 220v model 700 but it was rebuilt at some point in it's life and has a different handle. Has a rubber grip not the classic gun style grip that the original versions have. Plus a square badge not the classic orange badge which is why i favour the original more as it looks just like the one in the manual. The original bag looks great with nice graphics. It just required a bath in warm water and a bit of mild liquid soap to get rid of the funky smell it had. |
