ELECTROLUX MODEL 86 LOW SUCTION

You can replace the bearings on that motor, top bearing is a sleeve and bottom a ball bearing, both of which can be replaced. I just hope they didn't get hot to the point where they basically welded themselves to the armature.

Hello , i don't think the bearing are in that bad of shape but upon closer inspection the wiring is rather brittle and weak and i'm thinking to be safe i'm going to replace the whole motor and wiring all together .

If the motor was screeching then the bearings need attention.

If you do decide to replace the motor, I know of a dealer in Ontario that has a NEW Electrolux 89 motor. This is the same motor that is in your 86 now. If you would like his contact info, send an email to the email address in my profile.

This model really intrigues me. If I'm not mistaken, it was only sold in Canada, not in the US, right? It's a weird middle model. It's shaped and styled like the models that came before it (E, G), but the bag compartment is on its side like the upcoming 1205. In the Electrolux evolution chart, this model bridges the gap between the old and the new.
