Electrolux Mechanical Noise / Foreign Object in Brush or Fan

Loud rattling or grinding noise from the base during operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Debris caught in brush housing, Damaged brush bearings, Foreign object in suction fan, Loose motor mount

Safety first: Unplug the cleaner before inspection.

Inspect brush area: Remove the brush cover and look for small objects (coins, screws, stones) lodged near the brush.
Check brush bearings: Spin the brush by hand; grinding indicates worn bearings and the brush roll should be replaced.
Fan inspection (advanced): Access the motor fan housing and check for debris. Remove any foreign objects carefully.
Check mounts: Ensure the motor and pump mounts are tight and not cracked.
