Sure, take the machine apart. Cut off the bad part of wire. Strip insulation to same as what's inside. Remove old original & wire in the new.

One of two conditions: The Charger is not functioning or Battery has become a dud.

You didnt specify the model number, so I'll limit my answer to most common.

On most upright vacs, you disconnect the hose running to the floor pickup and attach the crevice tool (or whatever else you have) to the end of this hose. You then continue cleaning with the hose end atrachment.

I would imaging the Dirt Devil Edge Wedge is similar.

It sounds like there is a clog in the hose itself if you have no suction from the end. If it is bagless remove the canister from the machine or if it is a bagged machine remove the bag. If you have a shop vac attach the hose from the shop vac to the end of the hose of the dirt devil and try to suck the obstruction out that way. Sometimes it is possible to remove the clog this way. You can tell if you have suction from the debris port to the bag or the canister. If not you may need to use a snake or coat hanger to pull the clog through.

Hi Kathy, Click this you tube tutorial to see how they open the vacuum with the same model that you are looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG29klTuWxc

Yes, but Instead of the dirt and gunk getting trapped in your filters it will get sucked into your motor which will quickly ruin it.

Hi there, a few different solutions.... flip it over and remove the screws, take a piece of paper and draw a diagram of how the screws are placed. place the screws on the paper as they were in the vacuum. remove any screws needed to free the brush, remove trash and her from the brush- scissors will help a bit- put it back together and give it a try, the other solution it to check the motor that spins the brush it may be dealt driven or gear driven or a direct drive- I don't wanna tell you more because you are a consumer and dirt devil did not want you taking it apart because its unsafe if your not sure what your doing and id feel bad if something happen to you.. https://www.6ya.com/mr.mike

There is usually thermal protection in modern appliances. The bimetal type are usually very reliable and long lasting and a problem such as you describe is most often a sign the motor is running hot rather than a faulty thermal breaker - due perhaps to a reduction of cooling air through the motor because of a build up of fluff and dust inside.

You might be able to buy them as a spare part from the manufacturer but if not there are a host of companies supplying all manner of carbon brushes and even some companies that will manufacture a pair to order, requiring little other than one of the originals as a pattern. Google search replacement carbon brushes.
