Questions & Answers
Q: Is it hard to replace my central vacuum motor if I choose to do it myself? Do I need a vacuum expert to do it for me? A: No.
Q: If the unit doesn't power on, or if I smell smoke/burning or hear weird noises, is my central vacuum shot? A: Yes. First, try your circuit breaker or the reset button located on the side of the vacuum. If still unsuccessful, then it's possible the unit's toast.
