did you put the fan washers back in the right order?
it sounds like you may have not put the washers back in where theyre supposed to be or cross threaded the fan pulley. theyre should be two metal washers or one fat plastic washer between the bottom bearing race and the inside of the fan. replacing the fan will not fix that. the washers need to be located otherwise any fan will bind the the base of the machine.
also there is a skinny brass 0 ring (the bearing race) that pops in the bottom of the bearing so the commutator shaft gets direct contact with the lower roller bearing. if this popped out and you removed it and didnt put it back, it will also cause binding as it creates a 1/16th of an inch gap between the fan and fan case WITH the washers installed. check for those first. if everything i mentioned is installed, then we have something else to discuss. | ||

running those machines on high speed without the brushroll is probably what did the problem. those machines will get damaged if you continue to do that, those motors will burn up without the load of the belt and brushroll to slow them down. its quite possible that operation caused the damage you speak of.

Eh, I dunno about that. The fan should create enough resistance to regulate the motor from overspeed.
Anyhow, do these motors have thrust washers? Repairing the brush connector wire would be a trivial thing, not worth scrapping the machine over. Apparently you're local to me, I wouldn't mind having a look at it. | ||

Well.... unfortunately it seems as though the one thing standing in the way of any repair is a terminal. It broke in two. That is what I was told. | ||

Any chance of a picture of the terminal as it may give others some idea how to repair it. | ||

I don’t exaclt have a picture, but I did take a screenshot of a video I made. It’s not the best quality, but at least it’s something. I can draw a picture to make it more accurate thought. | ||

MadMan, I can gladly help you out here to find what you’re trying to look for on the machine, or via email. I sadly don’t have better photos, so my apologies. I’m getting the machine picked up from a fan change soon, so I’ll get you some better photos of the broken clip. | ||

Same as Madman I am not sure what I should be looking at, does the diagram help identify the issue? Assuming it is a similar model.

Oldskoolguy, Do try and get some decent images of the part and what goes where if you can, including the 2 broken parts. It will be interesting to see if it is repairable. | ||

Wow! That sounds like a scummy store! I would not do business with them again! Poor communication, no calls or questions to check if you still wanted to repair it, or anything! Just poof, gone!
I got scammed in the same way with a (now former) friend who said he could fix my laptop and recover my data. He lied to me for 2 years when I emailed him every 2 weeks, and then he just said "nope I threw it out to the recycler". And just like that, a laptop that cost me $2,000 just 3 years before was gone. I never told him to throw it away. I was very angry and he never talked to me again after that and changed all his emails so I couldn't even contact him anymore. | ||
