Thanks this is an excellent tutorial. It’s a T20 screwdriver torx, if anyone needs to know.

I would have gone out and bought a new Henry Extra without this vid, now i might get another 10 years out of it. I ordered the brushes from these guys, speedy delivery and no drama .They took around 10 minutes to fit and most of that was in re-assembling the hoover. The brushes i took out had 10mm of carbon left on one and 3mm on the other so it was right down to the spring :) @ atrino My hoover just died like it had been switched off, there were no signs of a catastrophic failure like smoke, grinding metal or burning smells. With hindsight (and the new brushes fitted), i can now tell the hoover had lost suction power over time.

Two of the Henrys I use at work expired with an electric burning smell which I assumed was the windings burning out, in which case I thought it was either a new motor or vacuum short of rewinding it. But when the carbon brushes fail, do you get the same smell (in which case I can easily make this cheap repair?) Also, would it be possible to modify a Henry with a brushless motor and associated control circuitry to make one with a much longer life? And is rewinding within the scope of home repairs by someone with reasonable electrical/electronic knowledge, albeit as a robotics hobbyist? Note that both companies PAT test anything I fix, and my Vax passed just fine.

Just disassembled my Henry and I can see grease covering the connectors ? It doesn’t turn on. I’ve replaced the switch. What’s causing the mechanical grease everywhere?

Can the brushes be a reason to cause the house electrics to trip and turn off....mine trips the house electrics just as it about to start ..hearing the motor for half a second

[@PutinosauRUS]

What can be a reason for the overheating problem?

Is it normal that Henry smells burnt during using after changing the brushes?

[@tukokitkat]

Hi, great video How do I know when I need to change it? As I have dyson dc 38,that it make strange noise and stop Do you have a video regarding changing the moto brushes for the dyson 38? thanks. AGAIN

[@Derouz]

And how exactly would you know it's the carbon brushes causing the problem?

[@barking-Mad-with-Paulette]

If you watch the video starting at the 4 minutes mark, he will explain & show you exactly how you know if your brushes need replacing.

Try replacing the PC board, the little electronics board inside.

[@toniearl3497]

What type and size screwdriver to open up to get to the motor? I can't see the screw heads very well. Is it cross slot/Phillips or Pozidtiv? Thanks!
