What Is Inside A OSIM OS-6800 iEcologi Vaccum Cleaner

 



This OSIM  iEcologi was retired due to a excessively noisy motor.  As it turns out the bearing at the impeller end is severely rusted.

Despite the water filtration and mechanical filter quite a bit of dirt do managed to get suck into the motor where some of it will probably get expelled into the air again,



The AC power plug developed a loose connection on the Live terminal, giving intermittent power connection.



The water tank, the boiler ( top ), the motor sits below the water tank together with the water pump which pump water into the boiler

The carbon brushes for the motor, still in fair wear condition.
