I think I understand why some Kirby motors sound the way they do: I believe the armatures used on models 505 to 518 have one fan with 6 blades and another with 14 blades, while the main impeller fan used on models 505 to 514 has 6 blades and the 515 and up has 10 blades.
It's the 14-blade secondary cooling fan that sounds the loudest. ~Ben This post was last edited 07/29/2024 at 21:19 |
