I am assuming the motor is in tip top condition and is well oiled and greased right? I'm thinking to try putting a new filter in there first. This problem plagues early 2000's HEPA filter vacuums as well. The filter gets too clogged, the motor has to work harder to suck so much air through the filter, and thusly makes more heat. Cord would heat up too.
I have an XXX too that I believe has never been tampered with, but I'm not daring or experienced enough to open it up yet! |
