Although a vacuum cleaner is one of the most re- liable mechanical devices in the home, there comes a time when it needs servicing and minor Vacuum Repair San Diego —if for no other reason than to keep it in top-notch working condition. In doing its job of collecting dirt in the dust container, certain parts of the cleaner take plenty of punishment. Cut a cleaner in half, so one can view it "in section," as the draftsman calls it, and it looks like a complicated piece of machinery. But in reality its operation and its parts are quite simple. Essentially it consists of a centrifugal suction fan, a dust bag or container, a suction nozzle and a small electric motor which drives the fan. And that's all, except a handle perhaps, a light to illuminate dark corners and, on certain types, small wheels and casters for easy maneuverability. Most cleaners of this particular type also are fitted with an agitator brush, its purpose being to loosen embedded dirt so that it can be picked up by the air stream. This brush and the dust bag or containers are the two parts requiring the most frequent attention. When emptying the bag, the directions furnished by the manufacturer of the cleaner should be carefully followed, of course, but a common procedure is to hold the bag over a sheet of paper with the open end down, place the feet on the corners of the frame and shake the bag vigorously. Turn the bag inside out occasionally and carefully brush off the accumulated film of fine dust. Never wash the bag as this will likely destroy its properties of dust retention. The agitator brush should be removed occasionally and thoroughly cleaned. Lint, thread and string often wind so tightly on this brush that it's impossible to untangle the mass. But one can cut through the strands with shears and remove them with a comb. Be careful not to break the bristles of the brush. Check the length of continued use. The remedy depends on the condition of the parts. Sometimes merely cleaning the commutator surface with fine sandpaper will be sufficient. However, if it is rough and pitted or grooved, then, if tests show the motor otherwise in good condition, it will pay to have the commutator trued up and the mica undercut by a competent service shop. Whenever one have the cleaner apart for any reason, give the fan a thorough going over. There might be a cracked or bent blade or maybe a piece broken out. This will cause vibration which in turn greatly accelerates wear. If any of the blades are cracked or broken, a new fan is the surest remedy. For major problems it is always better to hire the Vacuum Repair san diego technician. Author Resource : James Stew writes informative and unique articles about sewing machines san diego
