I have a Used Eureka AirExcel Compact 990A Household vacuum that had a electrical burning smell that was tolerable bec. we only used the vacuum for 10-15 min at a time. I initially cleaned both Hepa and dust filters … it worked fine until I used it to vacuum filter from my upright wind tunnel bagless vacuum that had a small (handful size) amount of kinda fine type of dust/dirt on it. I wanted to see how well the suction was on the upright vacuum Now my Eureka AirExcel Compact won’t power on and I can see a foam piece coming out from behind the Hepa filter that wasn’t there before. Also once I opened unit up to see if I could fix anything simple…there was a black shiny metallic color dust all over my hands My question is whether this is fixable ?? How to fix this?? Thank you
My only guess would be the motor brushes. See if you can power it on while it’s apart to see if there are any sparks.
