- This is me trying to fix an issue with a squealing motor in my 16v vacuum. I imagine this would work for any small DC motor that's making loud screeching noises. All the other videos I saw were only related to replacing the battery packs.

Thank you for posting this. After watching you removing the housing I was able to use some singer high speed machine oil to line the shaft with out taking it apart. I used the qtip soaked in the oil held it to the point where the shaft enters the motor and turned it on while holding it. It is working like new again. I just wanted to list this in case it could save someone from having to remove the whole housing unnecessarily. Thank you again for the post.
Glad I could help!
I had the exact same problem. Your post blazed a trail for me, showing me how to disassemble the Dustbuster to access and oil the motor shaft! In the end, I didn't go the final step of removing the blower wheel in order to unscrew and remove the DC motor. I left the DC motor in that last bit of plastic, cleaned everything with a small brush and qtip, put drops of household machine oil on both ends of the motor shaft directly or with qtip, while pushing and spinning the blower wheel. After I reassembled everything, I poked a qtip soaked with machine oil through the gaps of the plastic surrounding the motor, touching the motor shaft, and turned the Dustbuster on to spread the oil more Now my Dustbuster is running very smoothly (but it's only been a day, so I'll update you if there's another problem).
Awesome. Love to hear another product has been fixed rather than thrown in the dump!
update?
I did have to disassemble and reassemble the Dustbuster again, because the motor would sometimes slow down and speed back up while I was using it, with a little bit of noise. When I reassembled again, I made sure everything was tight. It is working pretty well now and hope it stays that way!
Without taking it all apart I just used a can of compressed air and aimed the straw in every possible opening , (lots of dust) and made it back to normal loudness.
Mine did not squeal it was just too loud
We should use dust blower first then clean thouroughly then lubricate before taking apart, but your video is good to know all the vacum.
That was really great. I was struggling on how to get that motor out. LoL I am good at breaking things so watching you get that
fan/disk off helped a lot. I have two of these units and the one keeps turning off so I took the motor off the other one put it on the faulty one and it runs out the battery with no problem. So I’m pretty sure the bearing is shot on the original motor. They are not real expensive so I may buy one off of eBay. If you have any thoughts let me know. You did a great job and very patient also
Thanks
Happy to help. I’d say run the motors outside of the unit and see if you hear any drag on them
Mine has been doing the exact same thing for the last few years!
All of my models exactly as this one seemed to go to crap after a year or so, but they work great while they work. The one that I’ve got now, all the dust is getting sucked in the vent where the airflow comes out and it’s actually blowing the gunk out of the back of it. I’m trying to find a fix for that if you have any ideas. I can’t see a way to even get that vent off to clean it out.
Hey I have the exact same one and my motor is not squealing but running like something would be blocked, I can even smell the burn. I took it apart and if the cover is off, it runs nice and smooth, but once I put it back, it starts again. I was able to take it apart on my own and I can reassemble, but cannot figure out what on earth is going on. Have you seen something similar before? I made videos how it runs fwiw.
Is your video posted on YT?
@@bryan305 thanks for your reply. No, I haven't posted it. Eventually I realized that probably a new motor is that I'd need but in the meantime I bought another device.
OK I see the back end. It doesn’t look exactly like mine does exist unless you’ve taken some thing off prior to the video but this could just be an older model maybe
Got pics?
Where can I contact you, I badly need help for the wirings, I think I pulled two wires accidentally and it is no longer working
Message me at bryan305@gmail.com. Got pictures of what you’ve done?
