I'm pretty sure the motor itself is round, but I'll have to look again when I'm home. I did contact the guy in New York that Launderess mentioned in another thread. He said he has a used one for $30 + shipping. I also contacted Walt (forgot his screen name) and he thinks he can get a used one as well. I don't know of any places that rebuild electric motors here in So Cal, but I haven't really looked either. Kevin |

Probably not much to that motor; they're very simple. Take it apart and see if you can fix the problem. The issue is probably a lack of oil at the end of the shaft bushings. I recently took apart the 2 speed round style motor in my 806. I soaked the sponge like material for the end bushings in turbine oil, put a drop of of turbine oil on all 4 sliding surfaces of the centrifugal clutch, cleaned up the contacts and slapped it back together. Quieted the motor significantly and the transitions between agitate and spin (and the opposite) are much, much smoother now. Very simple, IMO. |
