If she gets down on all fours and starts barking at the vacuum, then you can start worrying! Seriously, what I used to do, was explain how things worked. Show her the on/off switch, let her press it, show her she can control the machine, but it still has to make the noise, because that's just how it works.
When my daughter was younger, we made a game out of the thunderstorms. When we saw the flash, we'd take turns going "Okay...now!" and pointing like magic, trying to 'cue' the thunder. Don't know if it will help, but anything to put her at ease.
Of course Kade couldn't open the door, no hands!! Geez, I figured even a marine biologist would know that!
