A handheld noisy vacuum cleaner repaired. Model: Philips FC6050
When this handheld vacuum cleaner was brought to my shop and I powered it up, it was very noisy and the sucking on this machine was also weak. I was not sure if I should waste my time repairing it or not. I was really debating about it but since it belonged to a customer who always brings me stuff to repair, I decided to fix it.
It is a battery powered vacuum cleaner. It comes with a power charger and a charging stand. It runs on 3.6 volts and I could see it was an old one judging from the dust and model number on the machine. I used to have one just like it and I have not used it for a long time.
That is why I was encouraged to fix it because I can use the parts that I have on my old machine to repair this one. So, let us see what I can do to repair this one.
A few screws off and I was able to see what inside this machine. It is not complicated at all.
Only three batteries, a motor, and a tiny power board for charging the machine.
Since the main problem is the noise when the motor is spinning, I head directly to the motor and checked it out. I soldered the two connection off and too the motor out. I plugged it to an external power source. A loud noisy sound came out when the motor was spinning.
I tried to lubricate the motor but it was no use. The sound went down just a little bit but it was still noisy.
Here is the replacement motor that I took out from my old battery powered vacuum cleaner. It was not a new motor and I informed the customer about it. He did not have any problem with it. So I went ahead and replaced the motor.
I powered the hand held vacuum cleaner and it was running nicely and hardly any noise coming out of it. I was please to see that.
For a moment I was a little bit scared that the motor on my old machine, because it was deserted for a long time, it would make noises too. It was running fine. Mission accomplished.
