We've got some electrical engineers here. I seem to have an upright vacuum whose motor is spinning backwards. I've found this solution on a forum:

Most vacuum cleaners use series wound motors and to reverse those you need to get inside it and reverse the connections to the field windings. Which may not be possible with a sealed design. Other possibility is to reverse the fan on its spindle.


Is this something I should attempt? I had everything on the machine apart except the motor, as it had some tabs that were tough to open. It's a Bissell. We bought it about 8-years ago, but it stopped working after about 1-year. I didn't know at the time it was because the motor started running backwards. I just set it aside and used the Miele we had instead.

Were it not for this backwards running motor, it would be a machine in tip-top shape.
