When a ProClean stops pulling, the machine around the motor is usually still worth keeping. The chassis, the wiring, the filtration and the tools have years left, and it is the motor that has run out of brush and bearing life. This is the replacement motor assembly for the ProTeam ProClean, supplied with its cooling fan and rectifier so the whole drive package goes in as one unit rather than being pieced together from separate parts.
Built for
- Vacuum repair shops rebuilding ProTeam ProClean machines
- In-house maintenance departments in schools, hospitals and offices with a repair bench
- Building service contractors keeping a spare motor on the shelf so a route is never short a machine
- Any owner of a ProClean that has lost suction while everything else on the machine is sound
What the fan and rectifier do
The fan is what keeps the motor alive. It moves cooling air across the windings, and a motor that runs hot because of a damaged or missing fan will fail again quickly no matter how new it is. The rectifier conditions the incoming power for the motor, and it is one of the components that can fail on its own and leave a machine dead even though the motor itself is fine. Because this assembly ships with the fan and rectifier together, the technician is not left diagnosing which of the three failed and ordering twice.
Before you replace the motor
Rule out the cheap causes first. A full bag, a clogged intake, a loaded filter or a split hose all present as lost suction, and none of them needs a motor. If airflow is still weak with a fresh bag and clean filters, or the motor has become loud, hot, or cuts in and out under load, the motor assembly is the likely cause. Machines that run five nights a week reach this point on a predictable schedule, so a worn motor is normal service life rather than a defect.

Frequently asked questions
What is included with this motor?
The motor assembly comes with its cooling fan and rectifier, so the drive package goes in as one unit instead of being ordered as separate pieces.
Which machine does it fit?
It is listed for the ProTeam ProClean. Motors are model specific, so check the model number and voltage on your machine before ordering and contact us if you are unsure.
How do I know the motor is the problem?
Check for a full bag, a clogged intake, a loaded filter and a split hose first. If suction is still weak with a fresh bag and clean filters, or the motor is loud, hot or cutting in and out, the motor assembly is the likely cause.
What does the rectifier do?
It conditions the incoming power for the motor. It can fail on its own and leave a machine dead even when the motor is fine, which is why it is supplied as part of this assembly.
Is replacing the motor worth it?
Usually. The motor is the most expensive wear item in the machine, so replacing it costs far less than a new vacuum when the housing, wiring, filtration and tools are still in good order.
