Motor sparking after replacing carbon brushes
Hi. I have just replaced the carbon brushes on a Dyson DC07 vac motor which had stopped working. The motor is now working but sparking heavily. Do you know why this is happening? Thanks your help.

If the motor has overheated it may have a short between windings causing excess current. Try using a fine abrasive paper to clean the brass armature and retry. If it quickly blackens it is likely to be a faulty motor.
