Dying by fire

[graybunny]

What is it with my vacuum cleaners? The one previous to this caught on fire. This one didn't, but on Sunday it started making louder and louder grinding noises from the brush. I stopped it several times but couldn't find any issues, and tried to convince myself that I was imagining it. Then I started smelling the burning and discovered that it was shedding bits of ground plastic.

I'll have to see what Fred Meyer has.
