Replacing the fan in your Sanitaire vacuum cleaner is essential for maintaining optimal performance. Over time, the fan can become damaged or worn, leading to reduced suction and efficiency.
Identifying the Need for Replacement: Common signs that indicate a fan replacement is necessary include:
- Reduced Suction Power: Noticeable decrease in cleaning effectiveness.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding or rattling sounds during operation.
- Visible Damage: Cracks or chips on the fan blades upon inspection.
Selecting the Correct Replacement Fan: Ensure compatibility with your specific Sanitaire model. For instance, the Sanitaire Upright Vacuum Cleaner Fan (Part Number 20-8620-08) is compatible with models such as SC678, SC888, and SC883.
Replacement Process: Replacing the fan involves disassembling the vacuum to access the motor housing, removing the old fan, and installing the new one. Detailed instructions can be found in the Instructables guide for the Sanitaire S661B model.
