The LS50 vacuum motor (part number 181970081) is the R31ALSS suction motor that generates the airflow in your Lindhaus LS50 Electric. Rated at 240V/50Hz and 600W, it is the motor that creates the vacuum that lifts dirt through the machine and into the filtration.
About the LS50 vacuum motor
This genuine R31ALSS motor is the heart of the machine’s suction. The LS50 vacuum motor is a 240-volt, 50-hertz, 600-watt unit, and those figures come straight from the motor’s own designation, so a genuine replacement restores the original suction power the LS50 Electric was built to deliver.

Signs the vacuum motor is failing: a clear loss of suction with clean filters and no clogs, the motor running louder or with a high-pitched whine, a burning smell during use, the machine cutting out from overheating, or the motor refusing to start at all. Because this motor is separate from the brush motor, the brushroll may keep spinning while suction fades.
Swapping the suction motor is a significant internal repair that involves opening the body and handling the motor’s wiring and gaskets so the airflow seal is preserved. If that is beyond a comfortable DIY repair, our service department installs these regularly and tests suction on the bench afterward. Before replacing the motor, rule out the simple causes of weak suction first, a full bag, clogged filters or a blockage in the hose or airway, since those are far more common than a failed motor. When the R31ALSS itself has worn out, a genuine replacement brings the machine’s suction back to full strength. Related filters and airflow parts are in our Lindhaus LS50 parts.
Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Lindhaus equipment since 1956. Use a genuine Lindhaus R31ALSS motor so the ratings, seal and mounting match your LS50 Electric.
