Hmmmmmmmmm ? ? ? From shat I'm seeing in the first photo, the shaft seems to gave a blue tinge indicating overheating due to lack of lubrication. This could very well be your noise! While you have it apart, if you have access to a lathe, check the commutator for out of round. If it is out of...

Hi Jane, At this point in time, forget about a schematic as Royal (now TCI-Dirt Devil) has no idea what an Anniversary Edition Model#89103 even is. You'll do best on Vac Parts+, (Henry Co.) eReplacementParts.com, and other websites discussed here on this forum. Right now besides belts, I'd...

Electrolux = Frigidaire My granddaughter rented a condo a year ago with a newly installed Frigidaire refrigerator that literally sounded like a midget with an icepick was in the freezer compartment trying to chop their way out. She literally thought someone had been breaking into her kitchen...

Better Quality Photos Hello again everyone, The previous photos were shot with my new digital camera in "Auto Mode" that uses a screening filter for reflective (shiny) surfaces to reduce glare. After looking at the photos I'd previously posted here, I finally decided to dig into the user guide...

Finished Photos as Promised Hello again everyone, Well, it's finished, and here are the photos I promised . . . Thanks again to everyone that offered their help, Mike

As far as brushes are concerned, go to your local hardware store (not Home Depot or Lowes) with what's left of your old brushes, and match them to brushes in their Hillman or Jandorf assortment that are roughly the same size or slightly on the PLUS size. You'll have to estimate the length...

Well, I spoke too soon . . . I couldn't help myself, and ended up putting the vacuum together tonight after dinner. The replacement shaft extension screwed onto the motor shaft just fine, but when I got everything together I noticed that the tip of the shaft extension was rubbing against the...

Hello again everyone, I just received the replacement motor shaft extension P/N:380261 from eReplacementparts.com, replacing the defective one they'd previously sent me. This one screws all the way down clamping the fan onto the motor shaft, so apparently the first shaft extension wasn't...

"I don't mean to dismiss you, but it definitely sounds more like arcing, as kirbyvertibles suggested." Brushes arching on the commutator makes a "hissing" or sputtering sound if the brushes and/or commutator are really worn. Another thought . . . If the brushes are really worn down to where...

Does the noise change with the belt removed???

CORRECTION: It was the Vac Parts + website I obtained the aforementioned information from, and that I'll be calling tomorrow. Sorry for any confusion, Mike

Hi, It's likely a stretched area on the belt, as the vibration/noise ceases after the belt warms up.

Photos + Dimensions Hello everyone, A friend's dad, a retired appliance repairman, referred me to a friend of his who's a retired electrician that repairs small electrical tools for construction & janitorial companies in his spare time. I called him, and he just happened to have a Royal...

Blknblu and 3rdGenVacGuy, Thanks for taking the time to reply. The shaft extension P/N:380261 in Blknblu's post is the one I received from eReplacementparts.com, that screws on the LTH motor shaft, but bottoms out between 3/16"-1/4" before contacting the SLIP-ON FAN. At this point there are 4...

Ben, Sorry, I was referring to the fact that they list no Royal Metal Upright Parts in their parts section. The parts schematic link you provided worked just fine. I went back to their website on the schematics page and looked at all metal upright model schematics. It's unfortunate that...

Ben, Just a heads up. When I looked on Hesco's website and clicked on Royal, it explained that The Royal Appliance Co. is now Dirt Devil. Nothing at all is listed for Royal Metal Upright Vacuums. Thanks again, Mike

Hi again Ben, As I mentioned in my initial post, I was on the phone for a total of 45-minutes with Royal Customer Service, first with an agent that later transferred me to escalated support agent, Marilyn. She looked for a good half-hour, but was unable to find anything pertaining to my...

Hi Ben, Thanks for the input. Having read your content in the Royal Upright Vacuum History document, it's obvious that you're well versed in Royal vacuums. Would you happen to know for sure if the motor shaft extension P/N: 380261 sent me is the correct part for my anniversary model 89103...

Hello everyone, I'd recently been given a Model 89103 Royal Anniversary Edition 14" vacuum cleaner un-assembled in it's original box, from a widow whose husband owned a sewing/vacuum repair sales/service store. However, the motor shaft extension had been removed probably for the repair of...
