The vacuum cleaner began to work loudly - how to repair?

One of the typical breakdowns of vacuum cleaners is loud work. If your device is noisy when turned on and does not suck up garbage or stinks burnt, you need to proceed to repair as soon as possible. Otherwise, the engine will fail (which, in fact, makes noise), as a result of which it will be more advisable to buy a new vacuum cleaner than to pay for replacing the engine. Next, we will tell you why the vacuum cleaner is humming during operation and what to do in this case.

We clean filters

In most cases, the device starts to make noise due to the fact that you did not clean the filters in time or did not empty the garbage bag. Filter clogging restricts air from entering the motor, causing the latter to operate in overload mode. The result - during abnormal operation, the engine is noisy, heats up very much, and eventually eventually fails. Therefore, do not forget to clean the filters, and if it has already reached such a situation, perform a cleaning and check whether this helped solve the problem.

Clean system

By the way, we also recommend checking the hose and brush. Maybe something got there and because of this, the vacuum cleaner is working loudly.

We repair the engine

If you cleaned all the filters, but the motor buzzes like an airplane, then most likely the problem is the wear of the bearings. The fact is that with severe contamination of the filtration system, dust will fall into the engine compartment and stick to the moving parts. As a result, the engine starts to run “dry”, after which it starts to hum or whistle.

If you find a breakdown in time and immediately begin to fix the problem, you may get away with simply lubricating the bearings, as shown in this video:

It happens that the engine just becomes clogged with debris, after which it starts to hum. In this case, it can also be saved by simply cleaning it, as shown in this video example:

If the lubrication of the bearings did not help, then the matter is in the windings or other elements of the engine. Repair in this case is most often not advisable, especially if the equipment is old. It will be much more reasonable to buy new equipment. About, how to choose a quality vacuum cleaner for the homecan read in our article.

That's all the recommendations we wanted to provide. Now you know why the vacuum cleaner is buzzing and how to repair it with your own hands. Once again, we remind you that the main cause of the breakdown is a clogged filter, so take responsibility for servicing the device!

    The vacuum cleaner is humming when plugged into the standby mode. When you turn on the start button - it works fine. Please tell me why and what to do.

    I turn on the start button of the vacuum cleaner and it immediately turns off as soon as I take my hand away from the start. Tell me what's the matter?

    The vacuum cleaner was on the balcony. The pungent smell of smoked fish began to vacuum. And the motor is very hot.
    I thought maybe wood bugs got into the engine hiding from the cold.
    In the summer there was an invasion of tree bugs similar to soldiers. No measures to combat them help.
    Could it be?

      It is unlikely that if this is an average modern vacuum cleaner, then the blowing and blowing openings are closed by filters (such as a foam sponge) ... First, clean these filters, start the vacuum cleaner without them - if nothing changes, then the engine may have “got” moisture, possibly bearings (bushings) from this wedged, and possibly with windings trouble. Dry it well near the battery.
