Orton Rd Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Only 2 years old Samsung cylinder type, motor smell of burning then dies. It's 1800 watts, would that have any bearing for a short life? not used that much. Any recommendations for another model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) It's a Samsung NOT a Hoover Have you checked for dust blocking the airflow over the motor? Edited October 15, 2020 by Daffy D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If it is cutting out it sounds like there is a breaker switch designed to prevent overheating....as Daffy says check the air flow is unhindered. Unlikely, but the bearings might be shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a British thing - if it sucks it is a Hoover. Kind of strange as it was a US company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know was just trying to be a little jovial "if it sucks it is a Hoover" that made me laugh - tag line for lots of comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravip Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The wattage cant be the reason. I've been using a National MC-4500 for over 2 decades! - (not heavy, daily use. Mostly for my car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) we had a good one in the 60's Hoover constellation. It was round so never got stuck and floated on a cushion of air, stopped making them ages ago. Yes I did take apart and clean it, no change. If it's on the lowest setting it will try to start up but turn it up and cuts off Edited October 15, 2020 by Orton Rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snark Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It depends upon which manufacturer put what motor into the appliance. Most small appliances put their component parts out for bid. So the odds are your motor is made of questionable Chineseium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
