Wheredego/wheredecomefrom?

If there's a worse sound to hear whilst dismantling a vacuum cleaner than 'ping!', accompanied by a half-seen flash of something tiny, metallic and airborne, I'm almost glad I don't know it.

Luckily, I found the clip(?) and I think it's back in the right place.

I may have established why the cleaner overheated and shut down last month: a cork had penetrated a surprising distance into the air path. Considering I don't drink, that's only slightly more likely than the bottle being in there with it.
