Thanks to you and your video, I replaced the burned out motor in my Hoover Wind Tunnel Self-Propelled vacuum cleaner! My first vacuum cleaner repair. I paid a lot of money for this sucker and no way was I going to just throw it away. I took pictures at each stage so I could put it back together the same way. Eureka, it runs like new!
Thanks for this! Have the same vacuum. How do you know if the motor is in fact bad? Can the motor be bad yet still run? Mine gradually lost suction and now whines like there is something clogged. I opened everything up, cleaned and found no clogs. Washed both filters. Suction is now a bit worse and the motor whines even higher. (Are those filters not to be washed??) Belt certainly needs to be replaced. It does not give off a typical bad motor smell. Thanks for anything you can provide. -SER
if the motor is loud then its probably on its way out, the loss of suction can be narrowed down to a few things such as a clogged fliter, clogged siclones and a dodgy motor. usually if a motor gives out or is giving out you will sometimes notice sparks. is there a popping noise when you use the vac? maybe try vacuuming off the filters in your machine or even replacing them, if the motor is still making the loud noise you described I would recommend replacing it.please note im only advising from my personal experiences with my parents machines and going off of research.
Did anyone notice the new motor does not look the same as the old motor. I think they are called motor brushes - I don't know if they are encorporated on the inside of the motor now or what. Trying to replace mine now but I can tell the motors do not look the same.
Self propelled model. I have never done a self propelled unit but I am looking at the diagram and it looks very similiar. You need to remove the top plastic cover to get to the motor mounts. Probably similiar to my instructions, but very hard to determine how self propelled mechanism engages with the motor once the cover is off.

Just finished replacing mine. Outstanding video! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your instructive video! I can see I'd better label some of these numerous screws as they come out!
Thank you so much. Your video was a tremendous help!
God bless you, I concluded
Thanks man..
good idea
Is there anyway possible to open up the fan blade cover to service the bearings of this particular motor ?

Can you do a video using the vacuum?

Looks like drive mechanism is isolated
Just two belts involve
