Oreck are so user friendly vacuums you should be able to see the broken belt or smell it, need more details as to why you want to get to motor

This could be for various reasons. Check the power cord and try a different outlet first. See if the power cord is loose or damaged. Next check the brushroll and belt that those are in working order. If you smelt burning or electrical fire or your vacuum made an odd noise before stopping it may be the motor going bad. If your power cord is good and the brushroll and belt good, it is probably your motor going bad.

It could be your hose, your PCB, or you RCM Swivel. Oreck no longer makes these vacuums or manufactures these parts. they are super hard to find the only places that would have them are old Oreck stores that have been around for a while. but most of the oreck stores do not carry any Dutchtech parts any more. Now They Sell Miele vacuums with are the top of the line as far as canisters go in the vacuum world.

There could be a problem with the cord. I suggest taking it to a local vacuum shop to have it inspected as that could be the problem

Sadly, your best and probably only bet for this is either an Oreck dealer or by calling the 1-800 line for Oreck customer service.

Manual would not, they want you to pay a service tech.

Believe this model has switch in grip,
1. Unplug unit.
2. remove screws from grip.
separate the grip halves to access switch.
3. I believe the power cord, where it enters the grip, has slip on terminals that fit on the switch. Just substitute the wires and re-assemble.

Should not require any soldering. Be careful, routing of the cord in the handle is difficult as I remember, depending on the year model, sometime in late 90s they went from a molded in strain relief to a serpentine path.
