The brushes are replaceable, so it could be they wore out. They do need to be checked so they can be replaced, otherwise the motor burns out.

Brushes should be checked at least once per year. Mine generally last around a year. When I check them if the brushes are over half gone I just put new ones in. At a couple of bucks each it is cheap preventitive maint. I also use a sharpie to write the date the brushes are changed on each vac motor.
Our J.E Adams Combo vac’s use a Lamb 116336-01 motor. We replace the brush’s VA30034 $1.77 every year if they need it or not, it’s cheap insurance. They usually need to be replaced after a year of heavy use. I’ve got a couple of Electrolux vac motors in a vac that I’ve been testing now for 3 years. They haven’t missed a lick yet. They are a pretty quiet motor.

Of course it can. Yours may get less use than carnut2's; yours might have a different motor; his could have undersized wiring. There are all sorts of variables.JustClean said:we have been running our Adams vacs now for 4 years and didn't have a problem with the motorsCan this be?
