    Hello
    My Sebo X1 is making a rattling noise which is worse when there is resistance on the roller. The roller is still turning and there is still suction. There is obviously something amiss and any help in identifying the problem would be appreciated. I am sure it can be fixed and am reluctant to replace it yet as it is only about 15 years old and has been faultless so far.

    Regards

    David

    Removing and inspecting the roller might be the way forward? 😉

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have recently fitted a new brush roller after which the machine was okay for a couple of months. The noise is also present when I run the machine without the roller installed.

    hope this helps identify the problem.

    Many Thanks

    Hi

    If it is the motor is it worth repairing or should I buy a new machine. Also if it is the motor would it still run albeit noisily? My local parts shop suggested that it was probably the clutch. Any thoughts on this and how I can isolate the problem?

    Many Thanks

    Probably too late now but it’s more likely the outer roller bearing (the bit that you remove to remove the roller) rather than the motor. Run it with roller removed, if noise persists it’s the motor.

    Hi

    The fault turned out to be a frayed belt, eventually it broke which made the fault obvious. I have fitted new belts and it is now working again.

    Thanks for the help.
