Our old Hoover Dimension (U5209-930) ate something it didn't like while I was at work. On returning the wife says "it's making a strange noise". So I turn it on expecting a squeal, a rubbing sound, maybe some bearing noise. Instead, Holy Shit, what a racket! It sounded like a small F14 getting ready for a deck launch from our kitchen floor. It still did it with the drive belt off, so it had to be in the motor assembly. Took that off, looked in, and found that about 1/8th of the impeller had broken off, removing one whole blade and big chunk of the back plate. By hand the motor spins smoothly and quietly, so the broken impeller is the most likely culprit
Who knew a broken impeller could sound like that!?
Hopefully we can get the part locally tomorrow.
