Is it plugged in?
Of course it's plugged in. Sometimes the outlets in your house stop working or need a light switch turned on to get power. It's frustrating, but we've all been there.

Test your on-off switch.
Remember to test your on-off switch with a multimeter. It's an inexpensive tool to have around the house.

It's getting power, but the motor doesn't run.
If the motor is getting power but doesn't run, the issue is likely with the motor itself. Make sure the motor shaft can turn freely.

Motor is getting power, but still not running
If the motor is getting power, turning freely, and still not running, you may need professional repair or a replacement motor.

Getting your hopes up with that loud, glorious vacuum cleaner sound and then having your good mood annihilated as the vacuum’s bold roar reduces itself to a whimper is the worst.

It's probably overheating.
If your vacuum turns on but won't stay on, it might be overheating. Start by unplugging it, waiting, and checking for obstructions. If the issue persists, consider replacing the thermal fuse. Visit a local vacuum store to purchase a new fuse and seek assistance with the replacement process.

We understand how frustrating it can be when your vacuum cleaner isn't working properly. A common issue is the loss of suction, but the good news is that the solution is usually simple.

Empty the bag or chamber.
Make sure to complete the first step, as you've probably already done it, but it's always good to double-check.

Your height setting might be wrong.
Remember to adjust your vacuum's height setting to match the type of floor you are cleaning for best results.

Check the filters.
Make sure to clean or replace your vacuum's air and/or exhaust filter if it's clogged.

Check your hose.
If your vacuum cleaner's hose is blocked, remove it and straighten it. Shine a flashlight through one end and check for light from the other side. Use a blunt object to clear any blockages carefully.

Check your brush roll.
Is it spinning? If it’s not, it might just be over-encumbered by hair. Anyone with pets, long-haired spouses, or children will encounter this. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of vacuum hacks, including an easy way to clean your brush roll.

If your brush roll is clean, but still isn't spinning, you probably have a belt problem.
Remember: Vacuum belt replacements are common and can be easily done at home. You can find helpful guides on YouTube.

I can understand how unpleasant it can be to use an old vacuum cleaner that just stinks when in use. It's definitely not an experience that anyone would want to have.

Empty the bag or canister.
Don't forget to empty out your vacuum to make sure the smell isn't coming from the dirt you sucked up.

Check you air and exhaust filter.
Clean or replace your air or exhaust filters to see if that's where the smell is from.

We understand that could be frustrating. It seems like your vacuum is producing some suction, but something’s preventing it from performing at its best.

Your bag or canister might be full.
Remember: Empty your vacuum cleaner to make space for the dirt it's picking up.

Check your brush.
Make sure to clean your brush roll and its bearings to keep it functioning effectively.

If it's not a brush problem, it's possibly a belt problem.
Belts can break or stretch out over time and may come off occasionally. Look for videos on how to replace the belt or consult a professional.

Vacuum cleaners often make their presence known with their loud operational sounds. This can be seen as a kind of boisterous greeting. However, when your vacuum cleaner starts making extra noise, it might be a sign that something is amiss.

Check your hose for obstructions
When an object gets stuck, it can cause strange noises when the suction starts. It's an easy fix.

Check your belts.
Belts are a common problem and can make loud noises when they aren't attached properly or are worn out. Replacing a vacuum belt is easy with instructional videos on Youtube.
