Kirby g3 help!

[kirby27]

I have my g3 that I got yesterday and I went to plug it in today and it is making a really weird motor noise. Like a squeaking bearing noise. Can anybody tell me what this noise is?
Help please!

Ok. The noise gets worse when I push Down on the handle with the tech drive off

Sounds like it maybe the Tech Drive it's self. There is a pin that some times moves out of place causing the gears to not fully engage or disengage. There is another post here about that. Don't remember where it is on here.

I wonder if it’s a motor bearing problem

 

[kirby27]

If I were to replace the part on the Kirby that wears out in the transmission. What part would that be?

could someone please link me to a good YouTube video or forum that explains how to replace the part in the transmission that engages/disengages the tranny?
