Oreck Orbiter maintenance and noise found

[@knockoutdustbusterscleanin1969]

Hi Paul ,
Thanks for that bit of information. I needed to know how to take better care my Orecks.

[@George-gh1sf]

It helped me. My Oreck is making a lot of noise.

excellent Paul. I needed to see this !

Hello, can you please explain how to take off the darn scrub brush? I need to place the pad on
Help

[@procarpetcleaning]

I use a long flat head screw driver to pop it loose. It’s a pain. I now use microfiber scrub strip pads instead of the brush. Ez same pad driver, no hassles 👍🏻😉

[@anawhite1675]

@@procarpetcleaning ok thanks. I got help. The disc pack was jammed good

[@AllAmericanMack]

Well I guess I need to do some maintenance and cleaning on mine now because it's pretty old and I've just been pretending like it would live forever.

[@procarpetcleaning]

Lol. 👍🏻

What could be a screeching sound when first starting . Lasts about 5 to 10 seconds

[@William23140829]

Is there a link to the $27 bearing you mentioned?

[@procarpetcleaning]

I don’t have a link sorry

Hey Pauli C I got a oreck that is not rattling but it pulls in certain directions any idea what could be wrong?

[@procarpetcleaning]

Sounds like you’re not putting enough moisture on the carpet. That will make the orbital machines pull.

@@procarpetcleaning my other orecks don't do it, just this one, so I know it's not that, any other suggestions?

[@procarpetcleaning]

Might be a bad pad driver. Switch it out with your other machines to confirm. Good luck

Is there an easy way to get the bearing off? It is a little rusty and 5 years old
