First Shut off all electric power to the motor, whether by turning off a circuit breaker or removing fuses from the disconnect switch or simply unplugg the vacuum.
Remove the wiring cover on the electric motor and set aside the screws.
All single-phase 115-volt and 230-volt motors have two wire leads that connect to the power supply.
Remove the plastic wire connectors that connect to the power supply.Turn your ohm meter to the ohm setting. The meter should read OL (open lead) or zero ohms.

Touch one lead to the case of the motor, and test each motor lead. The ohm meter should read OL, or zero ohms. If a reading of any ohms is observed, you may have a direct short in the motor windings; the motor may be bad.

If your confidant you can test the motor with live current, check the leads at the motor connections while the unit is plugged in and see if your getting between 110 and 120 volt at the motor connection, if you are and the motor is not working then the motor is bad. If not then the problem lies upstream in the power cord or switch

If it is very loud, you probably have a broken motor fan. Remove the carpet nozzle from the front and examine the fan for damage.

Look at the serial #. Disregard the first number. The next two represent the year, the next two the month, and the next two the day. The last three are the daily sequence.
Example: 5021203456, would be the 456th machine finished on Dec. 3, 2002.

The vacuum is designed to be an upright vacuum or a hand held canister vacuum, or a blower.
It comes with many attachments.

Please use the blower attachment.

Check the power button switch, it is often cause vacuum to shut off. Thus cutting current flow into the vacuum circuit. Also check the cord for intermittent connection. The cord is subjected to bent, twist and other abuse action while vacuum is in use.
Good luck.

my email is [email protected] im an actual kirby dealer nd inspector i found this website nd enjoy helping with problems ppl have with the kirby ask anything

If you have plush carpet, the brushes on the vacuum may be catching on the carpet, causing the belt to slip, overheat and break.

If the vacuum has a height adjustment, try adjusting it to a setting which lifts it higher off the carpet.

I hope this helps!

Good luck.

I am looking for instructions to attach my shampoo attachments,to my G5D, can you help me?

The Kirby does not have a restart button. There are a number of reasons why it may not start. First be sure the bag assembly and rug head or hose are properly in place. The motor will not run without them firmly in place. If this is not the problem, the next thing to check is the cord. Remove the plastic cord cover on the base of the unit, pull the cord straight out to unplug it, and check the cord for continuity with a voltmeter. Wiggle the cord around a bit to be sure it is conducting current continuously. If the cord is good, either the switch has failed, or the carbon brushes in the motor have worn to the point where they are not making good contact with the motor armature. This will usually require professional repair.

Hi,
This is what I would recommend that you do....send it to them and you will get back a machine that is like brand new again!!
