First test the switch to see if power in and then out to the motor.

Dirt Devil has the replacement charger available here: https://www.dirtdevil.com/power-swerve-cordless-stick-vacuum/BD22050-PARTS.html . There are a few third-party chargers that claim to replace the 440008693 charger. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

The belt is probably broken or off the pulley. These will build up hair and rug fiber around d the moving parts and force the belt off. I don't know the exact access on this model but a cover will need to be removed. Some models require Phillips screw removal of complete upper or lower cover. Be sure to clean out all debris and re install or replace belt with new.

It probably has a clog somewhere

Many Dirt Devil manuals are available here: https://www.dirtdevil.com/manual-video-search/ . The PD2005 manual did not show up here. I did find it at Manuals Lib here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/732336/Dirt-Devil-Pd20005.html . I also found the manual on the product page on the Dirt Devil MX site: http://www.dirtdevil.mx/easy-steam-handheld-steamer . The direct link to the manual here was http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/5ae076_fc923157085a43cb90e2113e69a6f7be.pdf . The manual is in English and Spanish, even though the host site is in Spanish. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Yes you can.

You will have to remove the cover to inspect it to determine what is not working properly

Take the hose off where it goes in to the vacuum and see if there is something lodged in the opening where the hose fits in to.

I've literally disassembled the ENTIRE vacuum. I got it for a dollar at the local goodwill with the intent on converting it into a dust collector for my mini workshop. As others have said. The suction is abysmal. I don't think it could beat a dust vac. And that's with just the motor hooked to dirt collector. No brush, no belt, no carpet adjusting. Just a motor, dirt collector and hose. Zero suction. Removed the hose, zero suction. Remove the dirt collector, solid suction. Dunno if the dirt collector is missing a part, but I doubt that based on other replies. I'm guessing all the holes in the red tube of top chamber are the issue. But I can't easily access it. I think I may end up cutting it open to try plugging some holes or some other modifications. But this vac is garbage in its original configuration

Hi there! The vacuum is equipped with a thermal protector sensor that will automatically shut the motor down if it reaches a certain temperature. This is usually caused by either a clog or a filter that needs to be cleaned or replaced. Make sure you check both the hoses for clogs and clean all filters properly. If a filter is really dirty it may be time to replace it. Hope this was helpful!
