All,
Hopefully someone can help with this. This morning my DC stopped working. Rather than the usual whooosh, when I turned it on it just hummed. I thought something might be wedged in the impellers so I took off the pipe and spun them. There did not appear to be anything wedged. I hit the switch and, whoosh, OK! I put the pipe back on and went to do some cutting, I started the DC, and all it did was humm. It turns out that if I give the impellers a nudge, the motor goes.
My question is, is this something I can fix? The DC is only a month old, should I send it back? I'd rather learn how to fix it and do that every now and then, but if it is a sign of some terrible defect, I will return it.
Matt
