Thank you. I called my vacuum shop. Do you think it could be the carbon brushes? |

There's a slight possibility it's the brushes if it hasn't been used in many years, or if it's been in a moist environment. Otherwise, probably the bearings.
Does this machine have one motor or two? If it's just one motor, flip it over and try turning the motor shaft that turns the brush roll belt. On occasion, a motor might stick on the brushes and be freed easily. Might even try running it with no belt - brush roll might be stuck, but I doubt that. |
