Test to see which filter is plugged.
This vacuum the hepa filter was plugged causing a loss of suction
and starting to overheat the motor.
.....ALSO THE HOSES WERE PLUGGED...

Thanks for helping me fix my vacuum! Fun fact: I have raised maybe a dozen injured or orphaned crows for release back into the wild. You’re hearing the babies’ desperate attempts to get their parents’ attention (and hopefully food) vs their siblings! The dead giveaway is when their frantic call becomes garbled by them greedily swallowing food and then yelling for more. I promise they always sound that desperate, no matter how well-fed they are!

Coupled with mob calls - maybe an intruding bird got too close to the nest, or an older sibling was trying to take food from the nestlings and got chased off. Families often stick together and have small territories, so you probably see the same birds often :)

When lost of suction, always clean out the hose,wash the filter & let it dry out for a day. Also always clean out the brushes. Once those are clean, everything will be in proper working order.

Thanks a lot! I put everything apart thinking I was going to remember where every part belonged, but I miscalculated my ensambling proficiencies. So, I find your video on KZfaq, and I did it. You did a great job! Thanks again!

The long black hose is notorious for getting progressively clogged with hair. This gradual air flow reduction causes crud to accumulate. Make sure to check this hose first.

This is a great vacuum. It just needs to be cleaned often especially the foam filters. Easy to do and everything can be disassembled in seconds. I’ve cleaned mine maybe 100 times so far. Not very powerful but it is very lightweight.

Every vacuum cleaner I have ever had, I have gotten for free, just sitting next to the dumpster. I take it apart and detail clean them and there ya have it, a free vacuum. My neighbor throws them out for either a clog or a broken belt. Never broken. Lucky for me. 👍

I do the same thing. I live in an apartment complex full of University students and every June when many of them move out, I come up on at least five or six vacuums. I sell them for 20 or 25 bucks a piece on Facebook and they go within a day or two.

Just found a whole cat-toy mouse in the bottom tube behind the brush roll... would make sense why the hose was working fine but not the bottom of the vacuum... lol I can’t believe a whole mouse toy was pulled up there... after I pulled him out and cleaned the roll it worked perfectly.

Hey thanks. My debris container was empty, and filters clean, but still had no suction. But thanks to your video, I checked the lower portion of the hose, and it was completely clogged! Cleared it out, and its back in working order.

Lol sometimes having a husband doesn’t help as much as you think. I’m my marriage, I’m the handy woman. It’s amazing what you can find on KZfaq. I put everything together and I repair what needs repairing. :) I have a hubby that is a bit of a germophobe so he doesn’t like to touch a lot of things that involve dirt and he gets frustrated easily when trying to put something together so I take care of both of those.
