Hi i am also having problems with my Henry it started making noises from the motor then smoking and now every time I try to switch it on it trips the electric out. Could this be the carbon bushes need replacing or something more thanks Adam

check main cable & power switch, mAY BE FAULTY

I'm afraid you burned a coil in the motor. And accidentally it stopped while that coil is between the contact brushes. Or one of the (or both) brushes are worn.

Is the motor overheating? Or is it more like there's a loose connection in the on/off switch? What happens if you reel in the cord a little? Could be there is a spot somewhere in the rings which is corroded or worn out and not making contact. Might also be a break somewhere in the winding inside the motor.

I have a similar situation in my Aerus C15C3. An Aerus brand bag ruptured inside my vacuum cleaner, but I didn't realize until the motor started making a horrible noise! To make matters worse, I hooked up my older Electrolux LE 1623 and at tried to suck as much debris out of the air intake at the bottom of the bag compartment, and then put the C15C3 back into service. I should have stopped then and there and started working on trying to get the motor and the fan out of the housing. But my machine was overheating and shutting off.

Sears Parts Direct has diagrams of the Electrolux LE 1623 on their website. The good thing about Aerus and the old Electrolux-USA is that they all have similarities in their design, but Aerus does like to tweak their design just enough to foil or at least complicate access to DIYers and general vacuum repair shops.

I hope you post what you find out!

There are a few Youtube videos that might help you get the job done.
I not exactly what you need, search your model, and problem.
Read down thread for additional repair discussion.
I hope this solves your issue. I don't believe it is on your unit, but double check it's not reverse thread. PEACE

you will need to remove and clean but as a last try use a good deggreaser to wash off , try and use WD40, the use light oil-SAE40 to the fan spindle points and check out.
It will improve a lot but repeat the process a few times ,then switch on and repeat.
If sucessful, dont forget to vote

Hi, I will see if I can give you some idea of what may be happening. I work on these on a day to day basis. So, you have a split system with the condensing unit on the roof, or a package unit on the roof? Sounds to me it is the first one.So, you are telling me that the power supply at breaker below is OK, but you should have a power box at the condenser on the roof. When you reset power to the condenser, that's when you here this blast sound? To me from just hearing what you are saying , it would be the sound of the compressor trying to start up, and it has a internal problem making this noise. Tell me, when it makes this noise, does it trip the breaker again? If so, it is definatley the compressor. You can prove this if you are inclined to do this, is to find the 3 different wires going to compressor, and make sure power is off 1st. Disconnect them at the Contactor or remove the plastc cover from compressor and write down which wire goes to each terminal.Tape the ends so they dont touch metal. Turn the condenser back on and see if this blast is gone. If so, the compressor is dead and you will need a new one.You say you have 3 phase power? This is unusuall for a residential unit, 3 phase units are for comercial unit power. They dont use starting componants like Run or start caps because they have enough power to do the job.3 phase would have 3 hot legs of equal voltage unless it was the older 3 phase which will have a stinger leg with higher voltage then the 2 other legs.Maybe this is a commercial a/c. Also, the compressor is reversable on a 3 phase unit by moving 2 of the 3 wires on the load side of the box, like T-2 and T-3. If these are switched if the compressor is locked up, sometimes you can get lucky and break it loose.Please don't do this, I am just explaining to you a little about 3 phase. Try this so you can elimanate the compressor. The only other thing it could be, if this is a gas pack and you are starting the heat, you can be getting blow back premature combustion? But I don't think this is what you have. It has to be the compressor.So, lets prove it by taking it out of the circuit. all should hold and no noise.Still, a faulty compressor is not a good thing. Let me no. Best of Luck and safety first.
Sincerely,

just take it to ur local dealer they will replace it or fix it.

Hi wendie286,

An electrical hum (for the plasma discharge plates) is normal. If you wind-up the "Purifier" control knob to "max", it will increase, and you'll probably be able to see a faint purple glow coming from th plates. This is normal, and is how the O3/activated oxygen is being produced.

A mechanical hum sounds more like the fan motor. These are the only moving parts and do eventually wear-out. If it's still turning, it shouldn't be a problem - - if it starts turning slower and slower, it's time to plan a replacement motor. I have a couple, but I think FixYa's terms forbid me selling it to you directly. Recommended solutions in this case:
1) If you still know an active dealer, you might see if they have any
2) You could probably find them on the web, though the last time I did this (in December), I couldn't seem to find them; I didn't have a lot of time to spend then.
3) Find another XL15 (maybe on eBay) and cannibalize a fan from the older machine (note: different versions of the XL15 had different motor mounting configurations, so me sure you know what you're getting - maybe ask for a digital picture of the prospective purchase showing how it's mounted).

If you write back with more details, I may be able to offer more precise guidance.

If I can be of further assistance, or if you have questions, let me know before rating me.

If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly. My goal is to earn a "FixYa" rating from everyone I help.

Thanks for using Fixya.com,

Jon

Unfortunately Sharper Image has discontinued support on the product line.  There was a recall going on with the product but since the company is chapter 11 right now, I don't think it is being honored right now.  
What happened was Consumer Reports ran a test on ionizers, Sharper Image received a bad score and filed a lawsuit.  They lost the suit and had to pay all legal bills. 
EPA has reported that using ionizers in a house or business may be harmful to your health.  You can read an article about it on their website.  
The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to release a final report on all ionizers by the end of the year.  Their decision may discontinue all sales of any ionizers in the United States.  This industry should have been regulated years ago just by the EPA data alone and for some reason it has been ignored.

Clicking usually corresponds to some circuit trying to power up, but being shorted and having to trip. It clicks more than once because it tries to self-reset. Some fiber or mineral contaminant might have messed things up; get it outta there.
