This was working for about 10 minutes last Sunday. I smelled a faint electrical smell then a pop came from the switch area. I looked at it last night. I figured it was the switch so I bypassed it. Still nothing. I’m thinking it is the carbon brushes. The problem is that they are stuck on both sides and won’t come out (just the springs). So I need to get the armature out. In order to do that I need to remove the fan. Unlike the Kirby classic 1cr or lower there is no place that I can see to hold the armature in place while I remove the fan. Usually, on a Kirby I use an ice pick to hold the armature still.
I’ve asked this question a number of years ago and was unable to get a clear answer. It’s ok because If I can’t figure out how to get the fan off or why this Royal won’t run. I’ll take it to the VCCC convention next month and hopefully someone will take it. I also have another similar model without the headlight, which also needs serviced. | ||

In
The openings highlighted upright put a screwdriver and that is where you'll see the armature fan. You hold armature fan in place while spinning off the fan.
