Panasonic MC-CL673 vacuum is not getting up to speed and smells

Panasonic MC-CL673 is not getting up to speed and makes a noise and smell. At a certain point turning up the power dial, it kind of cuts out a bit (although still runs) and also smells a bit funny, and is making a funny clacking / rattly noise. I fear its something to do with the motor - I have taken apart all the normal accessible bits but can't find a problem.

Even though the brush is spinning, you probably need to replace the beltpanasonic MC-CL673 vacuum is not getting up to spe - 2_bing.gif because it is stretched. It is probably slipping on the beater bar. This is causing the smell (burning rubber). I don't believe it is your motor. :-)

Wet vac motor making noise and smells like burning
Hi I would suggest that the burning smell and the noise will mean that the motor is burnt out. You can get them pretty cheaply from the internet and they are quite easy to fit.

Makes a loud noise like a grinding noise then smokes comes out and it smells like burning rubber? When I take the (rod) brush off with the belt then run the vacuum there is no more noise? Please help me...
Your belt is worn and stretched and so it is slipping on the motor drive shaft. That is why it is noisy and smells like burning rubber. You simply need to replace the belt. You can get replacement belts here:

Motor slows down and makes burning smell
If the noise is coming from the canister motor, you probably have bad motor bushings. I had the same problem, replaced the motor and all was fine - only for one year. The problem is back and is due to the fact the motor is very high speed (to get good suction) and should be made with bearings, not bushings. I will not be repairing a second time as a $70 motor annually is a bit pricey, and yes it will get VERY hot. I will buy a new vacuum - not another Kenmore.

Burning smell when i vacuum.
Is there a lever on the side that switches the unit between hard floors and carpet i.e. a switch that can turn the roller off? If so, check that the belt is sitting properly in that mechanism, and not rubbing on the side.

Other there may be a fault with the motor. Sounds like not an easy fix so may be worth the trip to see a Service Technician.

Bunning smell.
Is it an electrical smell or a rubber type smell. If there is no smoke, it could be that the belt is slipping and causing a smell. If it is the motor, usually it would smoke, or at least quit running and making strange noises.

Vacuum cleaner smells
A rubber smell usually indicates a belt slipping. Rubber belts stretch after a short while and will slip on the brush roll under load. Check also to make sure that the brush roll is turning freely.

Vacuum is making a loud noise
Is the smell rubber or electrical. If rubber then the belt is slipping and needs to be replaced, they stretch after awhile. Also is the brush roll turning freely, or is it bound up, it may have to be replaced. If the smell is electrical, then probably the motor is going bad and will have to be replaced.

Not enough suction for Panasonic MC-V5716 upright
Probably not the motor protector, its function is shut off the motor if it overheats. Most likely you have a clog or partial clog in the inlet down by the brush roll, or it is in the hose. But if the motor is running, and suction is low, with no clogs, then maybe the motor is running at a slower speed and will have to be replaced.
