My Hoover Elite from 1994 needed a fan replacement. I replaced it with no problem. But for some reason the motor still buzzes very loudly and I have no clue what to about the noise. I checked the fan once again and it was fine and didn't wobble or anything like that. What should I do?
Thanks, Logan. |

Check the motor. I think the problem is the motor or motor brush. |

What do you mean by that? that doesn't make much sense. you mean you were going to let the fan tighten itself as you ran the cleaner? that wouldn't have worked out well! did the cleaner even run at all? It wouldn't be the motor brush, the buzzing makes me think the motor is frozen.
Please, take the fan back off and see if the cleaner will run without it. if it does, than tighten the fan level, tighting until it is barely scraping the motor casing (Scraping is a defiant no-no). |

Do what super-sweeper says I think he/she is right. And after that put enough amount of oil in bearing. |

Grease might stock when dried up. |
