I have a Sanitronic that I let a friend borrow one day to clean his house... when he was done, he put it down in the basement, he ran a load of laundry through his washer, which was in the basement as well and wouldn't ya know it.. one of the washer hoses sprung a leak and left the basement floor in about 8 inches of water before he caught it.. when i got the vacuum back, he didn't tell me what had happened and when I took the front head off to put on the attachments for use, abotu half a cup of water came out from the fan housing and the belt shaft was all rusted.. thankfully, the machine is still operable but i didn't use it for quite a while until I knew it had dried outand I could clean it up.. some friend huh?

Those little buggers stumped me the first time I tried to work on one of these motors. I still have that broken bearing plate. Joe |

Granny has a Kirby Classic Omega that had to have the bag replaced last year due to her vacuuming up hot ashes around the fireplace. She sucked them up with the hose and the next thing she knew, the whole bag was engulfed in flames. It was simple for me to get a replacement bag for her, but she didn't need to know that, I made it out to sound like it took an act of congress to locate a replacement for a machine of that age, and the price!!! we didn't even mention that ;) She learned her lesson...
