Sounds like the commutator opened up in one segement,caused by overheating it, did the themal switch ever go off while it was running?.then when the motor came back to operating temperatue come back on? I believe these motors can be repaired.IT could be one of the carbons got hung up ,take the carbons and holders out,and see if the housing got lapped over,i've seen this a lot. MOLE Mole, Really appreciate your assistance here. The problem is the motor would not start cold. It has stopped a few times in the past 8 years or so due to what I believe was the temperature. If the hose gets a knot, for instance, the unit will switch off until it cools down, I guess. Not sure I understand about the carbons and holders though. My knowledge of motors is limited. Right now the unit is at the shop. They said that after they turned the motor it is now running, but this problem will get worse. Are you suggesting that the motor can possibly be repaired by the user? Maybe try to replace the carbons? The shop is suggesting a $250 replacement cost. It sounds like they think it is not repairable.
