Vacuum Cleaner Motor Carbon Brushes, Compatible Numatic Henry Hetty James
CAR104 Vacuum Cleaner Motor Carbon Brushes, Compatible Numatic Henry Hetty James
Made to fit Numatic Henry, Hetty, James, David, Harry and Basil vacuum cleaners fitted with a Lamb-type motor, this carbon brush pair (trade reference CAR104) restores the electrical contact needed for the motor to run properly. Over time carbon brushes wear down, which can cause a Numatic vacuum to lose suction, cut out intermittently, or spark inside the motor housing.

What This Part Does
Carbon brushes are the wearing electrical contacts that carry current to the motor's commutator, allowing the motor to spin. As a vacuum cleaner is used, the brushes gradually wear down against the commutator until they no longer make a reliable connection.

- Vacuum cleaner has noticeably lost suction or feels weaker than usual
- Motor cuts out intermittently or struggles to start
- Sparking or a burning smell coming from the motor area
- Motor runs slower or sounds different than normal

Typical Tools Required

- Small pliers or tweezers (optional, for handling brush springs)
Description
This carbon brush pair is made to fit Numatic Henry, Hetty, James, David, Harry and Basil vacuum cleaners fitted with a Lamb-type motor, and is supplied under trade reference CAR104. It is part of the OhSo.Shop Essentials range, selected to give reliable, everyday motor performance without the higher cost of a genuine dealer part.
Please check your appliance model number and motor type before ordering. Numatic machines have used more than one motor type over the years, and a soldered-tag motor variant uses a different brush design to this Lamb-motor version.
Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains before removing any covers or inspecting the motor. If you are not confident working with electrical components, please seek help from a suitably competent person.
