| + | [title] Brush Bar Repair or Replacement |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] This could have been trivially prevented with some routine maintenance had I known about it. The debris was causing enough friction and heat to actually melt the brush bar. |
| + | [* black] The bearing itself is a metal ring with ball bearings at the end of the brush bar. |
| + | [* black] The sleeve area where the hair and plastic melted together is not supposed to be a bearing surface. This means that it doesn't need to be very smooth so an unskilled scraping with a utility knife to remove the melted plastic and debris is good enough to make it work. |
| + | [* black] Use a utility knife to carve/scrape away melted plastic and debris until it clears the end cap. It doesn't need to be pretty. |
| + | [* black] Optionally, replace the whole brush bar if it's too far gone or the repair goes poorly. |
