Question by philasophos01: Reassembling vacuum motor – where does insulation go?
Help! I took apart my upright (bag & HEPA-filter equipped) vacuum because it was smelling smoky and indeed there was some hair wrapped around the motor itself (I clean the brush regularly). So with this problem solved I proceeded to completely reassemble the vacuum and voila – done! Then I looked around and realized I’d forgotten to put back the foamy wrapper thing that was encasing the motor (not the filter – this was more like insulation). Now I’m not sure where it’s supposed to go. Does it go around the solid metal part or around the part where all the wires show through?
Sorry I don’t know the tech terms…I just know how to do stuff, not how to write about it!
