Re: Motor hums but doesn't turn

Thanks JPG and jsburger,
Is it difficult to disassemble it to clean the contacts? Is there a 'how to' on it?

If not do I simply replace the switch?

Thanks!

Re: Motor hums but doesn't turn

I spoke a bit soon.... I used it for a while and then it did it again. I am wondering if it would be advisable to put some sort of air filter around the vent holes on it to keep the dust out? Any thoughts?

Re: Motor hums but doesn't turn

Thanks jsburger and dusty, I removed the motor and reversed the vacuum into it thoroughly and it did the job.

Much appreciated!

Motor hums but doesn't turn

When I turn the switch on the motor hums but does not turn. I am guessing maybe it is the starter capacitor (from another post)

If not what? and if if it is the capacitor how do I fix it?

Thanks!
