How we repair your Shop Vacuum
A shop vacuum is a portable wet and dry vacuum with a large drum and a strong motor, used for workshops, garages, job sites and water cleanup. A shop vacuum is built around a motor, filters, hoses or ducts, brushes or nozzles, and a battery or power supply on cordless and robotic models. A technician checks suction and airflow, motors and brushes, filters and batteries.

Common Shop Vacuum problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Blows dust out of the exhaust
- Likely causes
- A torn filter, a filter not seated over the cage, or using a wet filter for fine dry dust.
- What our technician checks
- The filter and its seal are inspected and the correct filter type is confirmed.
Motor will not start
- Likely causes
- A failed power switch, a damaged cord, worn motor brushes, or a motor burned out from overheating.
- What our technician checks
- The switch and cord are tested for continuity and the motor brushes and armature are inspected.
Loud whine or grinding noise
- Likely causes
- Worn motor bearings, debris that got past the filter into the impeller, or a cracked fan.
- What our technician checks
- The motor head is opened and the impeller and bearings are inspected.
Shuts off suddenly while picking up water
- Likely causes
- The float ball has risen to shut off airflow because the drum is full, or the float is stuck from debris.
- What our technician checks
- The float cage is inspected and the float is checked for free movement.
Water spraying from the exhaust
- Likely causes
- A missing or stuck float, overfilling the drum, or picking up foamy liquids that pass the float.
- What our technician checks
- The float shutoff is tested and the motor is checked for water damage before it is run again.
Loss of suction
- Likely causes
- A clogged cartridge filter, a full drum, a hose blocked with debris, or a lid that is not seated and sealed.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks suction at the inlet with and without the hose and inspects the filter and lid seal.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Empty the drum and knock dust out of the filter.
- Check the hose by dropping a small object through it to find clogs.
- Make sure all lid latches are closed and the gasket is seated.
- Use a foam sleeve for water and a cartridge or bag for fine dust.
- Inspect the cord for cuts and plug into a GFCI outlet when vacuuming water.
Safety first: Never vacuum gasoline, solvents or hot ashes, and unplug the vacuum before working on the motor head.
