I picked this machine up recently...suction is great! When it runs, it has a loud grinding/whining noise.
So I did open it up to look at the motor. I can't tell anything from looking at it. It is very well sealed up. I can't even see where the carbon brushes would fit. My question is: Is it more likely to be worn bearings or wearing brushes that would cause the noise? I'm not interested in replacing the motor at the costs that I see on Ebay. Thanks for anyones input... Guy | ||

So they put three different Motors in there if you can't see the carbon brushes and it's a cream color you most likely have a vortex motor. Usually pulling the fan out of that and cleaning that up will put the bearings Back in Balance. If the machine has a lot of dust in it the motor might have gone bad

The Vortex Motors, delicate to take apart but definitely not impossible. Personally I use rubber mallet to tap the fan housing off. It's a reverse thread on the nut that holds the fan on and then you have access to everything I wouldn't bother checking the carbon brushes I have yet to see one that needs replacement. When it comes to Motors I always go new of course I'm in a position at work getting a new motor is relatively easy I have them on the Shelf.
