Possible Causes

Worn motor bearings, Debris in motor fan, Imbalanced fan wheel, Motor mounting loose

Safety first: Unplug the machine. Motor components can be sharp and may contain fine dust.

Access motor compartment: Remove housing screws and covers to reach the suction motor.
Inspect fan and mounts: Check that the motor is securely mounted and that the fan wheel is not cracked or rubbing against the housing.
Clean debris: Carefully remove dust and debris from the fan and motor vents.
Assess bearings: Spin the motor shaft by hand (if accessible). Roughness or play indicates worn bearings; replace the motor assembly.
