Hey Guys,

Can any Eureka experts tell me how to get at the fan of a model 4333A, The Boss Lite? Mine is the all black model that takes a type AA bag. It's pretty much a basic model. All of a sudden when I had turned it on it sounded as though it picked up something which apparently I didn't see. It made a clunk sound; I smelled a hint of burning rubber and then the machine sounded as if a fan blade may have broken. It sounded grumbly....??? I haven't taken one of these apart yet so I don't know what I am looking for. I don't even know if these machines have an actual fan that dirt passes through or is it a bypass motor?

The 4331 is a Eureka Victory upright featuring a bag first bypass configuration. The brush roll and belt sound damaged according to your description...methinks..:-)

broken fan sound sometimes = sound of broken belt. You'd be hard pressed to find a way to break a fan blade on a bypass motor like that one. check the belt first and see how the motor turns by hand, and then look into taking it apart. As much as I like those vacuums, sometimes they aren't worth the tear-down labor involved to figure out what's up with the motor.

I have one like it, and love it! Try running the machine without the belt attached, that will determine the problem. I highly doubt it's the fan, especially since burning rubber = jammed belt or brush! laughing

Found the problem...but.....

 Hey Guys!

Regarding my Eureka 4333A as pictured in my link in the first post above, I now believe that the fan is what's broken; however, these fans are no longer available. Can you believe that?

I also had found out that perhaps the fan wasn't replaceable and that you needed to replace the entire motor. Can anyone offer any more info on this?

Thanks!

 Hello there. I have no idea where to find a replacement fan but if you give up on the ol' vac I could use the end caps on the roller brush.
