Kirby Sentria 2 ( How To Service The Main Motor )

[@fleetwoodray]

So far, you are the only one to actually remove the Kirby armature. Thanks

Hi, thanks for your excellent video! I want to ask one problem I am facing with my vacuum cleaner (model: Eureka Forbes Trendy Steel 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.

Hello there I would open up the motor and clean the armature with a armature chalk. Sometimes this helps to solve the problem.

It should have been noted that the belt drive shaft is a LEFT HAND THREAD . Also what about some continuity tests of the armature and field coils, not to mention opening up the switch .

For bearing oil or grease... which do you recommend? I was thinking using triflow lube... though am wondering if better to use the clear synthetic grease? Thanks for sharing.

[@MpVacuum316]

I agree… grease works a little bit better than oil …

Does the switch white hook supposed to stay click in and out when depressed?

Yes
