Removing an Electrolux Model XXX Motor? |

 Hey all, it's me again! My next project is to tune up my 1949 Electrolux Model 30, and I'd like to take out the motor, check everything out, and clean the fans to see if it improves suction power. Now, I have taken the motor out of my Model L, and that was pretty simple, but I don't really know how the XXX comes apart, because unlike the L, it has what looks like 2 studs on the back end that hold the rear cover in place. I don't want to just start unscrewing stuff and risk breaking something. So, has anyone serviced an Electrolux Model XXX or know how to properly disassemble one? Please let me know, I would really love it! Thanks so much! | ||

Check out this video
This guys does a really good job of demonstrating how to gain access to the motor. He doesn't show how to take the motor apart. But it's actually pretty intuitive. Just photograph everything you do!

I beg to differ on Euerkastars demo. The wires for the switch pull out of the switch and are not soldered in the switch. If you can wait until Sept 2 I can write up everything you need to work on the motor without messing up your motor or gasket. | ||

Oh by the way the side rails that have the Electrolux name is very easy to come off I will tell you that too. | ||

Hi, this is my first post, I just purchased a Model XXX that I'm getting ready to restore, could you by any chance email me those detailed instructions that you came across to properly disassemble one of these and access the motor? Thanks in advance, Joe | ||

The fan with the hub pointing up in the center is the lower fan, the fan with the hub pointing down is the upper fan. So it would be lower fan, lower fan housing, upper fan, fan nut, upper fan housing, then the four screws to hold the fan housing together.
In the picture you have the lower fan sitting in the lower fan housing. The center opening where the air is drawn in always faces toward the fan housing opening. | ||

Answering my own question lol I looked at the motor, running, and quite a few sparks. I tried a stone on the commutator but it did not seem to help. Anything beyond that exceeds my skill level so I am putting in a replacement motor. | ||
