been meaning to buy one of these for a year for work, but thge old hoover aqua master just keeps on chugging away, so i have put it off time and time again.

old hoover (over 10years now i think!! ) gobbled its second set of motor brushes the other day, and under inspection the motor looks like its nearly ready to die.

while routing the new coax cctv cable along the roof rfters i was above the office and found a boxed up henry

looks like its been damp and been left to rot/die
motor sparks and pops when its turned out, bruses are fine, but i guess the motor is shagged

found a replacement motor online for £42, i am sure that somebody on this site said you can get them for £16 from somewhere????

do they sell replacement motors??

look on ebay? or do a google search for vacuum replacements parts.

Failing that take it to the local electrical shop and they generally stock parts for these. I know my local shop does

thats not how you run a buisiness


its a motor, a switch and a bit of cable, madness to pay for the full thing

Do you run a buisiness or a business?

Take the motor out, soak it in WD40 and leave it to dry, then try it again. I bet you'll find it works OK, I've flooded my Henry a few times (using it for things it wasn't designed for) and this has always cured it

Otherwise a new motor is around the £45-50 mark, so realistically you're into a new one.
