Hey guys. Today I got this used Simplicity G9.4 in rather good condition for $100 off of Facebook marketplace, however an issue has arisen. When the direct air motor is activated, there seems to be a vibrating or rattling noise that is not present in the upright position or when the direct air motor is deactivated. It sounds almost like a vibrating fan or brush roll, however as I am not well versed with the mechanics of these machines I am unsure. The brush strips are loose in the aluminum housing, however I do not believe this is the cause, but I cant be sure. I have linked a video I made of the vacuum below so you can see for yourself what I am talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this has been one of my dream vacuums for a while and I would like to be able to use it without worry. Thank you.

From what you described It sounds like you have a broken fan on your direct air motor. | ||

I was thinking that, but wouldn't there be a loss of some brush roll power and surging of the bypass motor? I think that no matter what happens at this point that I need to replace the direct air motor. Does anyone know where I can source this part for a reasonable price? I really want to love this vacuum but it's a little bit hard to right now.

Maybe
Typically motors that are arcing spin a little slower i'm unsure if it's torque would be effected but it's possible. I don't think the Bypass motor would surge though since it'd just be the direct air motor with the issue.
As for getting a replacement. I'd check with a dealer, or perhaps a vacuumland member who has connections to Tacony. I've noticed that sites like partswarehouse charge MSRP and dealers often charge less. | ||
