This armature is the rotating core of the motor. It works with the field windings and brushes to generate torque, restoring smooth, reliable motor operation when the original rotor is worn, burned, or mechanically damaged.

• Spins within the stator/field to convert electrical energy into rotation that drives the appliance
• Common symptoms of a failed armature: motor won't start, stalls under load, heavy sparking at the brushes, burning smell, or erratic/slow speed
• Replace when the commutator is burned or uneven, windings are open/shorted, or the shaft/journal is damaged
• Helps reduce vibration and noise when a balanced, undamaged rotor is installed

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow moving parts to stop completely
• Access the motor, note wiring/brush orientation, and remove the old rotor carefully to avoid damaging the field windings
• Inspect/replace motor brushes and bearings if worn; clean carbon dust from the motor housing before reassembly
• The shaft turns freely by hand after reassembly, then perform a brief no-load test
