Introduction

The components in this device are extremely intertwined, meaning you may think your vacuum might have a power assembly issue when the electric motor is the real problem and fails to supply the vacuum with power. This is crucial, in that it is important to inspect your device thoroughly to ensure you are diagnosing the correct component to be replaced. The electric motor is one of the essential components needed for the vacuum to properly function.

This guide provides accessibility in helping others fix their previously unusable devices in the hopes of not having to purchase a new or different handheld vacuum. Of course, handheld vacuums are very simple, though many consumers may not explore the options to fix their device on the quick assumption that it may be most time effective to go purchase another inexpensive product.
