What's up with the motor in my Electrolux 1205? |

This is not the original motor. Originals were all metal construction. This is clearly a later replacement by either Electrolux/Aerus or a generic vacuum store. | ||

Ensure brushes move freely. It's still a high speed motor, it'll scream no matter what. Also, make sure the fan blades are very clean. A little dust will unbalance it, though that won't really make a screaming noise. It could still be a bearing noise. At 17k rpm, a tiny imperfection will make it scream, but you may never notice it by turning it slowly. You could remove the brushes entirely, and spin the armature by hand, you can feel a bad bearing usually.
