How To Clean Vacuum Cleaner Motor

This motor is from bagless Volta ErgoEasy vacuum cleaner.
Result of poor filter maintenance motor has dust/hair in it.

[@dimitardobrev3296]

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for. This is the same motor housing type as in the ELECTROLUX VACUUM CLEANER MODEL : ZSH720 . Hoping this will help future people looking for how to service this motor.

[@markharmon4963]

Thank you. Your video gave me the confidence to fix the inbalance of my filthy turbine.

[@sevendyseven4090]

To anyone watching this video, DO NOT use super glue !! USE Silicon in 1-2inch sections around the round dish part, let dry for a day...now you can cut through it next time around.

[@susmitsingh]

I know my heart was like nooo why super glue. Now good luck to the next person or even the same person try to repair it next time lol

[@mobsterslim]

A tip I used for cleaning dog hair stuck on the vents at min 2.59, I used a small blow-torch to burn off the stuck hair in the vents. WALLA :)

Very informative video! Thank you for this. I have one recommendation though. At the end of the video when you pressed the lid back on and glued it; What you should have done was submerged the lid in a bowl of water, microwaved it until the water reach boiling temperature, and then press the lid back on while the lid was still hot. That way, the lid would shrink fit back onto the motor properly, and you wouldn't have needed to use the glue.

[@LalSingh-lf4wt]

My comments are on JJRClassics88: Your suggestion would work for shrunk fit tolerance. May not work in this case, because the lid was easily put on. At the time of removing the lid, it seems to be expanded by sharp screw driver. The removal process of lid is skipped in the video. It is a difficult step.

[@DIY-Bri]

Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to remove the fan cover. You solved it. Thank you again. Cheers!😀

[@BengtEnglund]

Beware of LEFT hand threaded nuts at some motor models. It seems that the motor on this video has a right hand threaded nut. For example, the VCM-K30HU has a LH threaded M6.

[@RaspyOB174]

Thanks for the impeller disassembly video. Now I just need to figure out how to remove my motor impeller

[@ingeborgsvensson4896]

Nice video. My motor also had a lot of cat hair in it but now it is working perfect again. Thank you!

[@MicSokol]

Don't insert screwdriver into aluminum fan to hold it when trying to remove the bolt. You can damage it/bend the blades and it will make a lot of noise and cause the motor to overheat. There are other methods. I learned this the hardway.

[@bentanglangit4924]

You are right. I am using srew driver in the middle, while opening the baud to the left in the midle

[@inderjitwassi1420]

You say there are other methods - please advise what these are. Thanks

[@MicSokol]

@@inderjitwassi1420 You take two thin scraps of wood that fit into brush end of the motor, measure the rotor brush size, clap these two pieces of wood and drill a hole the same size as the brush, attach these two wood pieces to the rotor/ brush area/clamp so that when you want to unsrcrew the bolt rotor does not spin.

[@Z-Ack]

So youd rather damage the commutator on the motor rather than put a small dent in the impeller,, just hush.., youre not the genius your momma tells you that u are.. they say that cuz they love ya.. lol. Sorry. Sounded funnier in my head and less like a dick..

[@vacuumtests9225]

I will assemble vacuum later today. All vacuum body parts are washed now. I really hope it works.

[@JoeCamarillo]

Thanks for sharing! I'll try opening up the turbine in hopes of fixing my own:)

Nice socket wrench screwdriver style! Where did you find that at?

[@Karolthas]

2:15 It's actually better to put the screwdriver between the wings in the inner hole. That produces less force on the metal wings, and bending them won't result in squeak.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

Outer hole increases leverage/lowers force.

[@fanofradiooxigeniopressaos9248]

But in this way how is the secret to vacuum cleaners consumes low energy like a EU european energy label and conservates more good suction in the low wattage ones in september 2014 what is the motor is the motor has nano ferrite or is a copper wire and iron? or is something special in the motor thanks

[@radioorbitaldavidorbital8397]

Vacuum cleaner motors about 2200 watts of power that i have one from hoover i run without a fan turbine at 220 volts and electric motor consumes about 170 watts or 220 watts when run with turbine fan they consumes 1500 watts or 2000w because of centrifugation airflow resistance what do you think?

[@bauyrzhankokanov5498]

Not really got your point. I think the only way to increase the efficiency and reduce the power losses you need capacitors installed, means you need an electronic control board installed over the circuit

[@TanmayAgarwalJaipur]

Hi, thanks for your excellent video! I want to ask one problem I am facing with my Vacuum cleaner. One day the zip of the dust bag was open and I used the vacuum cleaner in a dusty area and I immediately smelled something wrong. So, I switched off the machine immediately. Then after some days in opened and cleaned the motor of the vacuum cleaner and cleaned all dust and debris. There was no smell of coil getting burnt. I dropped few drops of machine oil on both the bearings. After starting, I could see lots of sparks near the bushes and different smell coming from the machine. Kindly, suggest the probable problem and its solution.

[@sevendyseven4090]

Inspect both brushes for to much wear or to deep of a curve in them, if to much inward curve, the side edges may be to sharp causing a kind of outward glancing, dancing arcing..can take out to deep of inward curve with some delicate surgery with a dremel tool to once again match the original brush curve.

[@z_polarcat]

Thank you for the video, I have a question, when I’m trying to unscrew the main screw the shaft and the rotor keeps rotating with the wrench, how can I hold the rotor from moving?

[@abdulrhmanalomireen4626]

You can use an impact driver so it can give torque to the nut not the shaft

You can't buy it separately. You have to buy new motor. These are very cheap motors.

If you clean the motor with another vacuum as you did, will it not spoil that vacuum's motor?

[@vacuumtests9225]

It won't spoil it. It's actually very good way to clean it :)

[@inderjitwassi1420]

@@vacuumtests9225 thanks but I meant won't it spoil the motor of the other vacuum you use to clean the motor. For example my motor is full of plaster dust. If I use another vacuum to clean that then it will also become full of plaster dust.

[@vacuumtests9225]

@@inderjitwassi1420 If your motor what you are cleaning is full of plaster dust it shouldn't be too much for your vacuum to handle. Problem comes when you suck up a lot of plaster dust. Bagged vacuums with fabrig bag handle it well, but bagless vacuums really don't like plaster dust.

[@ronyerke9250]

I'm not impressed with your wedging technique to remove and install the nut on the end of the shaft. Bends in the turbine will unbalance it and shorten the life of the motor bearings. I think an investment in a small impact driver will help you not damage your customer's property. Save the wedging for more robust machines like lawnmowers. I personally use a c-clamp on the side of mower decks, by the way.

[@kornelijekovac9793]

The problem is the other side of the axle cannot be fixed. If it only had a slot for a flat screwdriver or whatever, it would be a different story.

it's a stupid design because the dirty air goes through the motor and if it starts to smell you can't clean it inside, the cooling airflow should be separate

Every modern vacuum cleaner has this style motor. Filters or bag is before the motor so these only get dirty if abused like this unit.
