    I was using my PowerWand and noticed that the left cleaning head isn't spinning as good as the one on the right side. I actually have to lift the left side up a bit just for it start spinning again. On the other hand, the one on the right side will spin no matter how much pressure I have on it.

    What could be the cause? Obviously something in the motor but is there a quick fix?

    Could be couple things causing it... Left side gear box could be going.. The armature could be not hitting the bushes fully being worn down too far .. Or The armature is worn ... The magnets in the motor worn..
    I would order a new or rebuilt left side from Rotovac.. This would be easy way for you .. Just bolt it on...
    Check Rotovac's website has all the how to do pictures for replacement..
