kirby impeller fan question

[kirbyuser]

can a fan from a 519 or 561 fit in the 513 or 514 models ?

 

[lesinutah]

Yes

You have to make sure you put bearings and spacers where they were on the older vacuums. If you don't it will not fit.

kirby suction fan

just changing the fan & nothing else. are they the same on the back ?

 

[hoover300]

It may

With more spacers added. On its own, it won't fit.

Fan

The older fan sits deeper in the housing. If you took off a fan look for spacers and bearings.

I believe they had more than 1 style of front bearing plate. some were deeper than others. i have seen both. some are flatter similar to the 516. i need to know what yours looks like
