Hi everyone.

I have just changed out a broken motor on my 2001 Henry HVR-200.
The new motor is the one on the link, the best match from all the expert advice.
It works and sounds OK but the suction is really low, the cleaner is not useable.

It appears a good fit, no rattles or movement, filters clean, no blockages etc etc

Please can you help ?? Perhaps with some troubleshooting ideas . . . . .

Its really frustrating !!!

Thank-you.

Have you made sure it has the propper fittings, it will require a plastic surround that teo little rubber mounta fit on that keep the moror in one place, the two rubber bung type things slot into the plastic cut out sections in Henry's casing. Be sure that the motor seal is on correctly and the casing is properly screwed down, inside the motor housing and the hat that says Henry is screwed down properly, once all screwed down run your hands around the edge of the casing and make sure the conver that says Henry on it is fully seated in position, sometimes they can miss aline when screwed down.

I do remember when I changed out the motor for the replacement you show, which is the direct replacement for the 99-03 models, it was not as powerful as the original 1100w motor that replaced it (the one I have photoed bellow is the original motor that Henry's used between 99-03...1100w single fan)

Funnily enough...

That 1200w motor that is the direct (official) replacement for the old 99-03 Henry's is actually the same motor the new Henry's use now! At least in terms of appereance, they may well be made with less windings that make them 620w and not 1200w for the new Henry's, although, they do sound pretty much the same anyway.

They are lamb motors.

Thanks Alexhoovers94

Thanks very much for your advice and information Alex.

I followed all of your tips and...... it worked brilliantly !!!! I now have a renovated Henry, better than ever.

The key was to use the black round rubber seal from the original motor. It was tough to get the lid on but its clearly a superior seal and it does the job. The white one that came with the replacement motor is now in the bin.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it really worked well.

Yeh, they just don't hold it secur enough in place, I found that to be the same with the motor I changed out in my 2000 Henry I had long ago, which I have now sold.

Glad you got it working right.

Alex.
