There are two fans one for the “blender motors” 5 amps or less and the pancake motor like yours. Either fan will work. But you probably want one with the taller blades so it will move more air.

This one is described as "low-profile (OEM part number 81092 & number 12988-1): https://www.ebay.com/itm/195526247869QUE... | ||

P.S. I think the first 4 digits of the serial number indicate the time of manufacture as the 29th week of 1989, which would correspond with the 1986 ad. | ||

That's a nice Eureka. I have a very similar one, a model 2091 in hunter green and white. It's my favorite of the Eureka/Sanitaire uprights I own. Mine has the sliding 'Rugulator' height adjustment, instead of the 'Dial-a-nap' knob. I see yours in an "ESP" model. Does it have the two-speed switch? If running it on high is too much, try running it on low. Also, try adjusting the height upward a click or two to see if that makes a difference.

No, it is a single speed model, it has the cheap seeming push button foot switch. I do much prefer a switch on the handle. | ||

I remember trying to clean a deep plush carpet with a black Eureka Boss 1934 upright with a 6.5 amp motor. I could not find an appropriate setting for the Dial-a-Nap height adjuster. The motor was just too strong and if you set the Dial a Nap too low, you could feel the suction lock and the brush roll stop. If you set it too high, the brush roll would skim the surface.
I think this is why the newer Eureka Ultra uprights replaced the height adjustment Rugulator with a sliding suction relief valve. If you set the suction to “ESP” it was at full power with the vent completely closed. If you slid the adjuster to lower the suction on the carpet, it worked fine for deep plush carpets. Higher power motors (more than 4 amps) really require a way of bleeding off the suction at the nozzle in order to clean deep plush carpets. | ||
