Default Henry vacuum cleaner - how to fit new motor

My Henry HVR200 lost his suction and then just cut out. The mains fuse
was OK, so looks like the motor. How can I check it IS the motor - are
there any other fuses inside which might have blown? what could have
brought this on - for example I use cheap bags which are stated to fit
Henry - do I need to use official bags? Could be old age - it's at
least 10 to 15 yrs old. anything I should know about fitting the motor
replacement? Is there an updated motor model that's preferable to the
one that came with mine? Thanks for any help, Andy Evans

My Henry has a thermal cut-out embedded in the windings. Long periods of use
with restricted airflow have resulted in it operating and stopping the
motor. A (longish) cool down period and it reset iself ok.
The use of cheapo bags, a clogged cloth filter or restricted flow for some
other reason could be the cause of your troubles
