Hey all
My "new" Dustette just arrived today, and it's got a problem. The motor is so loose that it moves forward and the fan strikes the housing. One of the screws that holds the motor in place is missing, and the remaining one is almost completely falling out. How can I fix this? Do I tighten it? Please help ASAP!

tighten it and see what happens, also to find an other screw I would go to a hardware store that has screws that you can test on your item and that you can buy indavidually. Thats what I would do.

I've never worked with a dustett before I was just suggesting that you experiment with it a little. keep trying though. :)

The funny thing is that my Dustette did a similar thing... Never quite knew why though

No I never did, wasn't sure why it ever did that!
