Burning Smell and audible tone winding down - new motor or carbon brushes?
I have a HVR200-22 Henry Hoover, bought in 2007. It works when switched on, but quickly makes a burning smell, and your can hear the tone winding down very slowly. I've only dared run it for about 30 seconds. My question is, will simply ordering new carbon brushes fire it back to life, or is the motor ruined and I need a complete replacement? Also, if I get a new motor is it a simple drop in replacement, or do I need to do any soildering / junction connector installation inside? I'm happy to get a new motor if needed, but I like to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and keep these things running till they're truly finished :-) I really appreciate your advice - Many thanks :-)

Re Ken Feaver's question. The suppressor will not be causing the problem and if the appliance is getting hot it is designed to cut out before it 'cooks the motor' and does permanent damage. Start by replacing the filters and ensure that the air flow through the cleaner (needed for cooling as well as cleaning) is not to restricted when cleaning deep pile carpets by allowing some air to bypass the cleaning head if a 'valve' is fitted in the hose/handle.
- I have a Henry HVR200 it works for a while and then cuts out it has a suppressor and thermal cut out fitted I suspect the suppressor or and the cut out is at fault can i replace the items or can if just take them out of the machine
- Many thanks for the response. I'm being slow to look in to this, but will try and take apart Henry soon, and then come back here once I've had a chance! Cheers :-)

I suspect the problem is not just down to worn brushes but you need to dismantle and examine before making a decision based on the condition of the brushes.
