Electrolux Automatic issue

Greetings all, I have an odd issue with my Electrolux Automatic. After a “cold start” and running fine for a few minutes, the motor suddenly slows down and stays that way for about a minute, then speeds back up to normal. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

That sounds very odd. Do you have any photos or videos?

Thinking a problem in the armature or field windings that manifests as it warms up and things expand. Does you model have a cord winder? Just thinking of things that get warm as more juice runs through them that might be subject to heat expansion and a change in current flow or resistance. Could be a loose wire too.

Any of those are potentials.

I agree. Probably fixable, though possibly difficult.
