Hey V.F. did you install the  F.G. paper bag right, remember the thin part of the bag where it attaches to the bellows thats the part with the spring on it. The big part of the bag goes to the outside where the zipper is, the bag should say top and bottom and looking at you when you unzip the outer bag. I have seen many people install the bag wrong and have the chute on the wrong side and in upside down blocking off the airmovement, is the machine really revving high more than usual?

Is the bag blowing up like nomal?Did you lock the sole plate in right? Did you install the belt right? eurekas go a quarter turn to the left, Hoovers goes to the right.on the open fanned machines.Does your 887 have the qiuck kleen clear [fan case]? there  is a seal that goes on the scroll, real thin gasket,

If you want send me the machine and i'll fix it for free. It should take no more than 15 mineuts...........

The germ grabber bags had a antibacterial agent in the bag.

Hi V.F.

from what your saying,i would check the following,Take the base plate off take the belt off, UNPLUG THE MACHINE, hold the motor pullie and see if you can spin the fan while holding the pullie tight with your hand,if it slips around its not clearenced right check the fibre washers,there is one under the pullie and one under neath the fan along with a steel washer Is the fan making a schreeching noise if so its loading and unloading on the shaft,i have seen many lexan fans in open chambered uprights have this problem,is there any side clearence or walk side to side? can you move the fan up and down on the shaft?, If the lower bearing has been replaced the replacement kit comes washers and nuts and bolts,HOOVERS also, some are re riveted in , check the shaft for walk side to side, the top bearings do go south also they dry out and start to squeel the cooling fan sits under the top bearing, it can be replaced also,but you must know how to do it, If your looking at relaceing the motor it can be done for 80 to 85 bucks,these motors are available at most dealers and wholesalers. Also you can take the outer bag off and check the fan and look for any chipped or broken blades through the chute............
GOOD LUCK.

Thanks Carmine,

Great answers you could be right on the MONEY, When do you feel things will turn around?Or should we just get use to this and think that this is just the way its going to be.

Has the GREATER society lost its soul????????
