My broken Black & Decker random orbit sander is diagnosed, repaired and restored to its original glory.

My exact problem. Thanks for the informational video!

Nice fix, those type of bearings are easy to fix as well. There’s a casing that is on both sides of the bearing that pops off exposing the inside where you can clean the balls (no pun intended) and add grease. The side casing just pops back on / as good as new.

I have the same model as you and today it broke down with the same problem, im writing here to say thanks and to keep it going mines fixed now too!

Thanks. It helped me a lot. I had the same problem with my black + decker sander.

I don't know how I would have fixed my Random Orbital Sander without this

[@TheJoserubio12]

Wow, that's amazing. Thank you very much for the tip.

Great, helpful video, TY. I have the same problem. I was taking apart the sander, & I can't get the white, round, plastic piece that houses the bearing loose, & off to remove the bearing. It just won't budge, so I've hit a brick wall, sadly.

Great video. Thank you. What type of vacuum did you use to clean it? Is it a mini vac of some kind of mini attachments?

[@michaelenebuczak9002]

Hi great video. What type of cleaning tool did you use? Looks like a mini vac? TY

Had same problem with my black decker sander i only cleaned it inside with compresor and put some precission oil inside bearings.. Works great now.. Simple fix.. I done the same thing in my firm a year ago.. Guess sanders need regular maintanence to work properly.. Even 300 dollar sanders got this problem..

I can not get the orange housing separated. I removed 3 top screws, took off velcro sander pad to expose fan blade, removed 5 screws on the side of the orange housing. It will not release at the on/off switch & cord insert into the housing area.

Same problem -- until I noticed in this video (0:47) that there is a hidden screw behind the black sticker with the manufacturer details

When this happen only need to do this: 1 use gasoline, sumerge and wash the bearing for 5 minutes after that apply grease for bearings and your done. Thumbs up if a save you 6$ and it work for you.

[@AngelPettengill]

Nice! Mine does the same thing, but it also started spinning way too fast until I put pressure... I wonder if there may be some type of brake mechanism? Thanks for the info

[@Ccccccccccsssssssssss]

Same here, spins like an angle grinder
