The VM3 motor was used in the following Aerus models: Classic, Legacy, and Later model Guardian vacuum Cleaners. The VM3 Motor has been replaced with the JEI motor which requires a slightly different installation process.
Remove the old VM3 motor and replace with the new JEI motor and new gasket. The white terminal lead will connect directly to the motor. The black terminal lead comes on the new motor and needs to be spliced and wire nutted into the the existing black lead in the motor housing.
Discard the old VM3 Gasket
Place the motor motor into the the top of the motor housing as shown above.
Then place the bottom cover on, and connect all four locks.
Reconnect the cord winder and assemble the machine back together.
