Frankly, if you've been happy with your G4, there are some available on ebay for very reasonable prices. There is a refurbished one with attachments for $359.63, includes shipping. A 5 year motor warranty
I recommend buying a used, refurbished one from a reputable, local vacuum store. Or as an alternative, take it to that store and have them do the repair work. You will probably get a better warranty than
This is a repair that should only be done by a trained/qualified vacuum service tech. The cost of labor is reasonable, although the part may seem a mite spendy, depending on where you have it done. Aerus
Like many of the high end vacuums, the Patriot (new)can only be purchased from a dealer/store. The warranty is usually void if purchased through another outlet, such as online vacuum stores or Ebay
The motor doesn't run at all? If not, it's possible it did burn out, but the belt usually breaks before that happens. The manual states there is a thermal protector, but says nothing about a switch
