So all you have to do to get to the electric motor and clear any debris around it is to pop odd the top disk, unscrew the two screws, wiggle off the black outer motor housing, and unscrew 4 screws on the inner motor housing. No need to unscrew all the other screws that hold the two side mouldings together 👍 Thanks for the video though as I wouldn't have got to this point without it
@@beko1987 yes. About an hour ago, I vaccumed the living room and realised that the filter wasn't on 😬 so had to find this video and do it. Now I know, it's only 6 screws and about 15 minutes work. Used pin head pliers to pull some of the dust balls out and once it was nearly clear, without putting the outer housing back on, I allowed the motor to blast the rest up in the air. All sorted now. I bet it's ruined my warrenty, but I'm sure it would have broken soon after had I not cleared it out and Beldray probably wouldn't have touched it as they would have an excuse that it was miss used in the first, by not replacing the filter
Thank you for posting I would never have thought that the dark red Beldray cap would prise off and conceal the screws that hold the motor and inner body together. I was surprised to encounter another filter (apart from the one that is at the base) and the condition of the amount of dust which must have been affecting the suction power. I was given the Belray because it was making an unusually high pitched noise and I found a gravel like stone (just dropped out before cleaning) which must have been lodged in between the running plastic inner parts that was causing the noise. Note mark/ or pay good attention after undoing the four internal screws (that's under the beldray cap) because it's under pressure holding down the inner filter and springs up when loosened. Further note if the problem is suction related and the base filter has already been cleaned the procedure re inner filter should be performed.
Thanks for showing how to disassemble this! Ours has a bad (organic) smell coming from the top motor vents when running, even after cleaning the filter... sprayed that circular vortex 'thing' on the top of the motor with isopropanol and soaked the foam filter in disinfectant, hope it works! Cheers, Rob.
So glad I found your video!! The motor sounded awful and I wasn’t sure the top part could come off! Thankfully, after a clean, it’s sounding so much better!!
Those motors have a brass bushing or bearing at both ends and it sounds rough. The drag/vibration is probably causing it to go over-current and switching off.
This is what i am wondering. With all the dumb regulations around these days vacuum cleaners have had their ability to work and suck effectively heavily kneecapped. I have a Beldray Airgility cordless 22.2v which i recently bought and while it does a reasonable job its not exactly got a HUGE amount of suction. Thats how i ended up here as i was wondering if i could upgrade the motor of fan to give it more suction. Any ideas Mr vacuum man?
That motor doesn't sound right at all.Either a foreign object is blocking it or a bearing is bad.Two drops of oil in the bearings would have told us which.
Good video but someone doesn't keep their vacuum clean! and that motor isn't good, the bearings are shot or full of debris, deep clean and re grease of the motor bearings it'll be fine, easy fix that! 👍
It came to me broken, if life works like that I'm due some good karma for the thousands of vacuums and few cars I've saved from death 😂 My karma is not charging people for the odd little repair job here and there and making a video of it instead 👌

That's far easier than I did it for sure! It's like everything though, the first time is always rhe worst! Did you manage to fix it once inside?

You did a better job than the warranty ever would! And when it happens again you'll know what to do 👍
Yes, but how do you remove the red cap? IN the video he doesn't show that part? @@rod85y
How did you pop off the top disk?

Cheers helped me get into this unit as it was belching out dust!
The problem is probably faulty connections in the roller section of the Beldray. Just a thought.
I`ve got exactly the same problem, great when it worked then it suddenly it stopped working.

Good vid
Sounds like the bearings
Can the motor be replaced?

Thank you saved me wasting a a lot of time
What will make my brushes start turning again it has been throughly cleaned but they still will not work
Thanks a lot for Your helpful video👍
Just one question: how did You remove the ,,Beldray” cap from the top?
Thanks, Rita
Pops off iirc, thin screwdriver and some tabs
@@beko1987 Thank You again, it’s done 👍😊
I tried it with a thin cheese knife ( the screwdriver is not thin enough, but it still doesn't work. No way to get it to lever.@@beko1987
Ive got exactly the same problem
How do you remove to circular motor cover? Where do you insert the screwdriver?
From memory it's clipped on, just a small flathead screwdriver
Thanks so much. This saved me
I have a beldray the same version and the brushroll on carpet is bad
Mines stopped going round. .... Awful design.
That motor doesn't sound right at all.Either a foreign object is blocking it or a bearing is bad.Two drops of oil in the bearings would have told us which.
I still have it, we could re visit it one day?
Great video Sam 👌👌

It came to me broken, if life works like that I'm due some good karma for the thousands of vacuums and few cars I've saved from death 😂 My karma is not charging people for the odd little repair job here and there and making a video of it instead 👌
