From the looks of the manual it's just for flat floor surfaces (vinyl, lino, tiles, etc).

open the tank where dirty water goes and make sure the float is down and not stuck ...when its full of dirty water the float raises with the water level so that the vacuum doesnt keep sucking and overflow

Yes as long as you don't mind your next 3 washes of clothes to have fine dust washed into them. Just buy a new outer bag for $10 or hand wash it. https://www.evacuumbags.com/dirt-devil-plus-503-103-outer-vacuum-bag.aspx You ARE using the disposable paper bags with it?? https://www.google.com/search?q=dirt+devil+model+103+bags ..

That is very strange, the parts suppliers list it, but Dirt Devil have no reference. I would contact Dirt Devil and ask why? There is a model M82700 but it is a cylinder vac. The contact details are there on page one. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/229112/Dirt-Devil-M082700.html Here is a list on all the Stick Vac model manuals https://dirtdevil.com/pages/instructional-manuals This is the vacuum with all its attachments and it looks like you just remove the head and insert the hose or the tools https://www.johnnyvac.com/en/rp-upright-vacuums/dirt-devil-power-stick-vac-m083700 ..

The best way to do this is by studying the parts diagram https://www.google.com/search?q=dirt+devil+power+max+pet+parts+diagram Or just carry it into the closest Dirt Devil Service Centre and ask them to 'service it'. It is not expensive. There are no videos showing how this is done, but the video made me smile

It is still advertised. Contact them and say the wheel has failed and you would like a warranty replacement. https://dirtdevil.com/products/endura-pro-pet https://www.google.com/search?q=ud70188+spares ,,

The hose must be blocked. Push a broom handle down it.

All the parts are here, but the wheel and screws are obsolete. So if the screw holds the wheel and then loosens up, remove the screw, clean the threads and apply Red Loctite. It will stop the screw from loosening. If that doesn't work, get some Liquid Metal, mix it and press it into the hole, grease the threads WELL, and screw the screw in. Properly greased, you should be able to remove the screws if you need to. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/dirt-devil-085590-featherlite-upright-vacuum-parts-c-36976_37103_129641.html ..

return it for a new one or refund.

Take it back to where you brought it . It must be under warrenty

Keeping it on the charger all the time can shorten the battery life.

See picture for details. It is unnecessary to remove the roller brush to clean it. The picture will show you how to do but not all vacuum cleaners will have a line where to cut. In this case, you can still use a utility knife just be more cautious where your cutting and not too deep. Make your cuts on both sides of the roller. If you still need to pullout the roller brush, don’t worry too much about pulling it out strait. Pull one end slightly, do the other end in the same way until it comes out.
