If you have a Sebo vacuum cleaner and you are planning to repair it yourself, you may well be looking for where to get free Sebo repair advice.. Our blog here is of course the first place to start.
Contrary to what you may read elsewhere on the internet, the Automatic X machines do.all have the same motor.

Many sellers of new vacuum parts haven’t the first idea how these machines actually go together.Very few parts sellers have a specialist.workshop as we at the Sebo Shop have..

Early X1 machines have two possible motors fitted in them and they are not easily interchangeable.. Much confusion arises because the two motors are ostensibly identical; but in actual fact they differ about half an inch in height which makes fitting a later motor to an earlier machine almost impossible..The early motor is an Ametek motor made by Lamb and its reference number is 117818–08..

The motor number is 5212.
The top pulley cog has 16 teeth.Cutting out after a short time with a bag or brush warning light on.
‘Check brush’ light illuminated.All of these things can be repaired, probably for less money than you think.
None are usually a reason to consider replacing or dumping your Sebo.. What About the Chap in the Village?.We’re not a corner shop.
