In case you didn't know, there's more information on Photo 9. I seem to have accidently misspelled that one. It should say: Would it be possible for it to be soldered back on or should I buy a replacement? | ||

The object in nine is a thermometer used for overheating. Someone knowledgeable can bypass them, but they are cheap to buy. When I get on my pc, I can lookup the number for it, Although the armature looks rough. Might be easier to get another motor. | ||

darn auto correct. It is a thermal fuse on 6, not thermometer. This is what I purchase as replacements, comes with a long lead. Klixon 7AM Series 7AM029A5 Thermal Protector Radial Low Resistance 110c | ||

Elijah, Lux & sparking...
Hello Elijah,
I'm NOT a Lux person, & I don't claim to be an expert. That said, in 'my decades' of working with motors, the left carbon brush in your photo #3 L@@Ks to be stuck in it's holder. It also L@@Ks to have "length" inside of that same holder. Being stuck would/will cause the excessive sparking you saw. Once the brush has stuck in the holder, it needs to be replaced. Whether just replacing both of them will do the trick or not I don't know?!?! However, I would do that first & use a seating stone as well. This will be the least expensive option. I've seen shops & individuals replace way more than is necessary too many times in my lifetime. ~lol~ If the excessive sparking goes away... WooHoo!!!!!!!!! If not, pursue your other options. I wish you well & welcome to the forum. If your close to WI, I'm just over the border, & I'd be more than happy to assist you. (I've saved owner's MANY Kirbys that were told elsewhere (vac shops) that the motors were bad. ~lol~) Cheers & hagd/n all, Bill 84 | ||

Sorry, but I am nowhere in the Chicago area. I don't list my Hometown on Vacuumland for safety reasons. | ||

Thanks! I might check them out! Would it be possible for you to explain the Seating Stone thing through a post here? By the way, I took the Brushes out of the Motor and they Clearly need to be replaced. The armature maybe just fine with no maintenance required, aside from the Thermal Switch. | ||

Elijah, Lux & sparking...
Hello Elijah,
After you have re-assembled the motor, including the carbon brushes, then you would "hook-up" power to the motor; while the motor is running, you would carefully hold the seating stone against the armature commutator segments, in short bursts. If the excessive sparking goes away, or starts to, you may be OK & can "save" the armature. Again if not, then pursue your other options. And as I said before, I'd be more than happy to assist you, (depending on where you're located). If you are in the St Louis area, then I will say that "The Vacuum Cleaner Exchange" in Belleville would be a excellent choice, like Andy stated. Otherwise if you still have questions, feel free to email me, if you prefer. Cheers & hagd/n all, Bill 124 | ||

Motor cleaning stones are used for other motors besides vacuums-a power tool place I worked at used them for tool motors.A good motor shop should have them-or try large electrical suppliers such as Grainger. | ||
