Thanks. I've been making sure my filters are cleaned well on the new one.
ReplyDeleteWhat rotaxwin says below is possibly what I needed to do, but didn't find the instructions on it, in time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it didn't work for long. I think it was just too far gone.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't come to mind, at the moment, but there are a few small motor demos on here, or somewhere. I think think a couple of them are pretty helpful in that area. I'm not sure if this one was very powerful. My new one has more.
ReplyDeleteNOICE! I was thinking about using a shop vac motor as a source of a powerful small electric motor. I'm still unsure if I can connect other things to the drive/power shaft besides the fan.
ReplyDeleteHow long did this work for you? I tried the same thing and ran it for about five minutes and it did it again.
ReplyDeletepeople never put filter bags in them and i have to fix them
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. If something works, it most certainly is better than throwing it in a landfill!
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose it is! Like I said, I'm "Learning" Comments that are helpful in that area are more beneficial. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHigher quality motors have ball bearings at each end, sometimes they cut corners and put bushings in. If you take the motor apart further you can sometimes actually soak the bushing in oil and it may absorb the lubricant, if it is a ball bearing you can carefully remove the rubber seal and get some lubricant in there, or better yet - replace the bearing. That's more involved.
ReplyDeletenot proper repair
