Belt

Having your cleaner’s belt break during vacuuming can make for a very frustrating situation to find yourself in, without the belt your brushbar will not spin resulting in your floor being left to gather dust and debris. There are many reasons which may result in your belt snapping - from the bar becoming stuck due to wear and tear.

  • Check to see if the brush roll is turning.
  • If not while the cleaner is turned off and unplugged try to turn the brush bar.
