Check the brush for accumulated hair, and other debris. If the brush is belt driven check the condition of the belt, over time the rubber deteriorates and melts when heated up during use creating a burning rubber odor.
To check for blockage in the fan housing, remove the bag assembly. Grip the lower bag housing and turn it counterclockwise for removal. If it has not been removed regularly to clean out debris, it may be hard to remove. Insert a screwdriver between the housing and the motor for leverage. For easier installation, wet the seal on the motor outlet before re-installing the bag assembly. Remember that the motor will not run unless the bag housing is fully attached.
Soak the end of the hose it very hot water to soften the end of the hose. Then insert a screwdiver inside the plastic end piece and flex the end of the hose inward and pull the old end off. To install the new end, bend the end of the hose into a "kidney bean" shape and push the new end on.
The beater bar is either jammed with string or threads inbetween the housing or the belt inside of it is off or broke.Turn the beater bar upside down, remove the screws and seperate the housing.Please let me knowif this helps or if you need further assistance
This unit requires both the rug nozzle ( or hose ), as well as the bag assembly to be in place before the motor will start. If this does not solve the problem, it is most likely in need of a cord.
You'll need three types of screwdrivers. A straight edge, and 2 Torx, sizes 15 and 20.
With the vacuum in an upright position, remove cord from holder. Use the #15 Torx to remove the two screws holding th cord to the vacuum. Use the #20 Torx to remove the screw where the cord enters the vacuum. Insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot on the left side of the "box" and release the tab. Gently pull on box at the top and tilt out. Unplug the old cord and plug in the new.
Reverse these instructions to put everthing back together.
Here's a video showing how it's done on the Sentria. It's the same on my G4, so should be the same for a G6. Excellent video with easy to follow instructions.
one line of black electrical tape on the piece that goes into the other piece should give you enough resistance to lock them into place. example, if you are connecting the tube to the angle piece, where the tube will go into the angle piece, you want to put the tape onto the wand.
good luck.
