How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Do not run the cleaner for long periods if the noise is abnormal.

  • 1. Check for airflow restrictions: Clean filters and remove blockages to ensure the noise is not due to whistling through a restriction.
  • 2. Inspect motor area: Remove the housing to access the motor. Look for debris in the fan housing and remove carefully.
  • 3. Spin motor by hand: With the motor removed, rotate the shaft. Roughness, grinding, or excessive play indicates worn bearings.
  • 4. Replace motor: If bearings are worn, replace the entire suction motor assembly. Bearing replacement alone is typically not economical on these units.
