# Black and Decker Vacuum (CHV1410L) Repair 2026

I’ve had [this little vacuum](https://www.blackanddecker.com/products/chv1410l) since 2019 (~7 years at the time I’m writing this).

I replaced the batteries a couple of years ago and more than doubled the runtime when it was new. I had to take the battery apart and weld new cells in, it’d be nice if they sold replacement batteries.

In the last few months, it’s started making a terrible squealing noise with no suction. The squeal will go away if I bump the vacuum really hard or turn it on and off several times in a row, but it’s been getting worse requiring more bumps or on/off cycles.

I finally got around to taking the vacuum apart again, and the brass bushings on the motor are shot. I suspect you could extend the life of the vacuum by putting some oil on the bushings once a year but mine are too far gone for that.

The motor is labeled:
Leshi Motor
LS-545PC-63483
14.4V
180120/C

I was not able to find that part number for sale anywhere.

Here are the dimensions of the motor:

- Motor diameter: 35.5mm
- Motor body length (not including shaft): 59mm
- Motor length overall (including shaft): 90mm
- Shaft length: 30mm
- Shaft diameter: 3.17mm (1/8″?)
- Mounting screw spacing at front near shaft: 25mm

The motor is apparently a standard size overall “rs-545”, but this motor has a very long shaft. It looks like most of the motors sold in this size have a ~8mm long shaft. I think you could JUST get away with using a motor that has a 15mm shaft, but 20-30mm would be better. This motor from [eBay for ~$12 including shipping (vmotor v060268)](https://web.archive.org/web/20260126192557/https://www.ebay.com/itm/144945959477), has been working fine for a week in the vacuum.

I did drill a hole in the motor shroud so I could get to the end bearing without complete disassembly, I think the front bearings are JUST reachable with the shroud on. Hope this motor lasts at least as long as the first one did!
