Causes of smoking motors
Its often the way, a vacuum or lawnmower works well and gets maintained as needed but the cause of failure is the motor starts smoking and it gets thrown out.
I have just had my Mum on the phone with the vacuum smoking from the motor as she was using it. I know its maintained well.
Asking around at work the consensus is that the windings just break down over time and fail. Has anyone found out the usual cause of smoke from a motor? I said I'd take a look before its condemned as its a nice old 70's Electrolux that used to belong to my Gran.
