....and finally the last video clip (having managed to put it back together) running a little more like the manufacturer intended.
The commutator looked OK (no irregularities or burn marks etc)but I didn't properly look at the brushes which I guess I should have done. The springs look fully extended which would suggest to me they are worn, but I suppose not necessarily drastically so if there is still a good length on them. I really wish I had taken a better look.
There didn't seem to be any other debris in the motor fan except for that large air freshener pellet, but no wonder she sounded grumpy!
Thanks to all of you for your invaluable help.
I think I can safely start my spring cleaning

Aha! Good stuff, well done indeed!
I wonder how the air-freshener got through to the motor though?
On my machine, within the rectangular air duct onto which the hinged bag door mates, there is a black oblong grid with 48 square holes (12 holes by 4 holes).
Maybe that wasn't present on earlier models, allowing the air-freshener (when placed loosely in the bag compartment) to be sucked right through to the motor.
I think part of Sebo's problem is they don't really tell the user EXACTLY where to place the air-freshener. I'm sure some folk who came from Hoover and Electrolux machines, would think "Oh, place it behind the filter, or loose in the compartment, because there's no receptacle for it."
At least with Airwick 'Breeze', Sue Pollard told us where to stick 'em! Lol

So it was a Sebo deodorizer pack that caused the trouble-I use those-they work well-just put one in the bag.Glad you were able to fix your machine.Better than having to get a new motor!

Air-fresheners
Personally, I miss the fresh 'Pine' fragrance that used to be available in the 'drop-in-the bag' rod format (similar to the Sebo ones) - I think Betterware sold the pine ones through their door-to-door catalogues.
I'm not terribly fond of the lemony smells that many air-fresheners have these days, but I liked the various Hoover brand disk air fresheners. I often wondered if Airwick made them for Hoover, as they reminded me of the disk in the 1970's Airwick Ball air-freshener.

Airball
I had a couple of Airballs (airbal) back in the day. It was a strange thing for a child to spend his pocket money on, but I was obsessed with vacuum cleaners so I was hardly normal. I had a white version, a brown tobacco clear version and I think there was even a menthol version. The rubbery Hoover air fresheners were indeed manufactured by airbal, it used to say it on the packaging. I still have quite a few of them in all four variants.

Aha!
Thanks Roger for confirming. I had tried doing an internet search for the 'Airwick ball', but found nowt. Google searches are very odd these days - everything under the sun gets lumped together.

The Aerus Lux man gave me some deodorizer packets for Lux vacuums-these have a nice,refeshing smell.Now using it in my other vacuums.Next time I see him will ask if I can buy a large pack of them!!You have to smell it to see.Also have those Sebo stick deodorizers.They have a subtile lime-lem smell-rather pleasant.
