I have a dc04 with a motor that sounds like a rumbling freight train. dose this mean a new motor or (clutching at straws) could it just need new brushes? 😳
It usually means a new motor, brushes not readily available…just make sure its not the brushroll thats making the noise,or if fitted,the clutch.. But 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time its the motor…
I dismantled the DC04 last night (not as easy as a hoover junior) and it seams the nut that holds the fan on decided to make a brake for freedom. New motor found on ebay for £16 delivered so should be up and running again soon. Not looking forward to getting it back together though.
