A good vacuum cleaner will last around 8 to 12 years. It is a good idea to maintain and repair your vacuum often. If your vacuum is not functioning well the first thing to do is to identify the problem and then know what part needs replacement.
Replacement parts are not that expensive. Your manual may have instructions on how to remove and replace your parts. To check your machine, make sure it is unplugged. The most common parts that need repair are the hose, belt, switches and brush roll. Inspect the hose, wand and cleaning tools to locate any obstructions. Debris often collects where one part plugs into another. Remove the parts one at a time. Push a broom handle through the hose and wand. Look for cracks in the vacuum hose which can cause air leaks. Check the bag and clean or replace all filters. Replace belts, in connecting a new belt you will need to remove the roller from the vacuum cleaner. Check to make sure the brush roll is spinning. On and off switch can malfunction.
Next determine the make and model of the machine. What part you need and the original manufacturer of the vacuum. Check the parts number. It is important to use the proper part numbers. Read your manual for the manufacturers recommended replacement. Know your model number.
