Those motors when they wear out it is best to get it replaced with a new one,or find another Oreck. The motors are not expensive. |

Sometimes the belt will get stretched out and if the brush roll bearings are seized the belt will smoke.If brush doesn't turn smoothly remove the end caps and try putting a drop of oil on the bearing this will sometimes loosen it up. |
