I hate when someone vacuums up lots of crap, but it could be worse. Like Greg’s mishap with paint being vacuumed up, which is always good for a little fun. But I also got to dig out a pit which is really where all the fun is at.
Vacuum brush problems
I replaced the brushes just in time on this vacuum. No fire this time.
Weird vacuum motor problem?
I was having a weird vacuum motor problem? It seemed to work when it wanted to, but it always was pushing lots of air out of the motor. I was going to check the motor brushes anyway and noticed the seal was gone. I believe the seal wore away and caused the suction problem. So I went to Lowes and purchased some rubber gaskets.
I cut a hole in the rubber gasket and it started to work again. Yea!
Coleman Fragrance Vacuum Problem
I replaced all the barbs with Parker 1/8″ x 1/8″ push lock fittings. (I purchased from Grainger like MEP1 told me to. Thanks) But I am having a weird problem I can not figure out.
2/3 fragrances work, the one that does not work really should work though. This is what I tried.
1) Checked the wire from the timer to the solenoid with a voltmeter. Works
2) Button works and makes a sound when pushed, the air also keeps running when the button is pushed.
3) When I rewire (hot wire) frag 2 to frag 3 (broken) the solenoid will work fine.
4) When I rewire (hot wire) frag 3 (broken) to frag 2 the solenoid will not work.
5) Swapped the timer with another fragrance vacuum. Still does not work.
6) Ground seems to be all connected fine to the solenoid. Checked with voltmeter.
7) Rewire from the timer wire (wire harness) to the solenoid and still did not work.
The only things I did not check:
1) Voltage
2) Rewiring the wire on the wire harness to the solenoid.
Vacuum fun
I always enjoy cleaning out the vacuums and breathing in all the clean air.
Vacuum hose problem
I just cut off this bad bend in the vacuum hose. I am not really sure if I should just throw the whole hose away though?
Vacuum claw problem
Vacuum claw problem. I guess it got run over.
