Commercial Vacuum Repair Armidale

27th November 2025

We were recently called to inspect a commercial wet vacuum in Armidale that was causing the safety switch on the switchboard to trip during use. This type of fault can point to an internal electrical issue, which can be both a safety hazard and a major inconvenience in high-use environments.

After completing a thorough inspection and test, we identified the fault as a breakdown in one of the vacuum motors. The unit is a twin-motor design, so while only one motor was causing the fault, we recommended replacing both as a preventative measure. This approach helps reduce the risk of future downtime and ensures balanced performance between the two motors.

Once the replacement motors were installed, the vacuum was reassembled and fully tested under load. It operated as expected, with no further tripping or irregularities.

Summary of work completed:

  • Fault diagnosis of safety switch tripping

  • Faulty vacuum motor identified

  • Replacement of both vacuum motors

  • Full function test and operational check
