Toro leaf blower Model 51591 from 2003 has started
Electric Toro leaf blower Model 51591 from 2003 has started making loud screeching sound when operated, both with or without the impeller. Sound began after vacuuming a wood chip which broke part of a fin off the impeller. Does it sound like a motor problem which would be more economical to remedy by buying a whole new unit rather than repairing?
As I indicated originally, I had also tried the unit without the impeller and it continued to make the same screeching noise.As I indicated originally, I had also tried the unit without the impeller and it continued to make the same screeching noise.

Re: Toro leaf blower Model 51591 from 2003 has started
Sounds like a piece of wood is caught under/between the impellor and the case/housing. When removing the impellor, you may find it has a left hand threaded nut.

Check the plug for loose wire or at blower where wire it enters to make sure the wire was not pulled and disconnected inside. If after looking and it is not a wire, check the brushes on the motor. They could be worn out or not making a good contact. Blow out brush housing and re-install brush sometimes this works. That's about all I can think of unless there is a safety switch then check that. Good luck.
sounds like the motor is worn out. Toro does not sell the motor separate. It is considered a throw away unit. You will have to purchase a new one. Sorry. Good Day.
