I have a Hitatchi CV-990 bagless vacuum cleaner. Recently it wasn't picking up very well and then there was a smell of burning and the appliance completely stopped. I reckon the motor burned out. Is it worth fixing or is it beyond repair at a reasonable cost. I had a look at the motor and it looks okay but the 2 connectors that touch the motor look like they are burned? Is it just a matter of replacing them?
