Ocean blue vacuum head won't work

Hello, it sounds like you make have a wire loose in your canister. The canister needs to be repair by a qualified repair person due to shock hardzards.

You could try wearing the cleaner like a backpack...

I live in a small town and there are at least two businesses here where I could buy vacuum cleaner hose by the metre.
I have also seen purpose-made 1 metre hose extensions.

It isn't always easy but I have repaired and replaced hoses, changed ends and generally managed to use surplus and discarded hoses rather than buy new.

I suggest you approach the sort of business that supplies vacuum cleaners and washers and suchlike to other businesses rather than a high street type shop.

Good luck!

Check and see if there is a reset button for the vacuum head this trips sometime to protect the head motor. Also if the roller heads bind they can snap the belt if it is belt driven. If it is direct drive then I would look for the trip or reset button.

Possible that you did not get the belt on properly and came off right away.

Bad on/off switch? Possible contact problem inside the cord reel?

it either the switch or the circuit board depending on what model it is.

Yes, and no.
It can damage the pump if it causes the pump to run out of fluid.
No, just a leaking hose should never damage the pump otherwise.

Broken wire in hose, connecting power head to the vacuum?
