I'm assuming it's not really running, and just making noise when you turn it on? If so, remove the belt cover and the belt, and turn the fan by hand, make sure it spins freely. Check for play in the bearings while you're there. Perhaps turn it on while it's upside-down and see if the fan spins at all.
If it IS running, but vibrating, try running it with the belt off. If that cures the vibration, the brush roll is bad. If it still vibrates, it could be a dirty/broken fan blade, or motor bearings. |
