I got a clog out of my vac's hose by taking the hose off the machine and inserting a garden hose in one end then turning water pressure on it. I got a rag out that way. ONLY DO THIS IF THE WATER WILL NOT HURT THE HOSE ITSELF>
It would seem that your vacuum is clogged, hence the change bag indicator. Pull the hose out and and remove at the swivel connection at the base of the hose.You can use a small flashlight to check the hose, lay the hose on the floor with the light at one end and look for light at the other end. I know the grip end is curved but you should be able to see some light. Check the rear port by removing the cover located near the base, on the rear side, close to the hose swivel. Unscrew the 2 plastic screws and lift out the cover; check for a clog here. Next lay the vacuum flat on it's front and shine the light behind the brush roll and up the short black internal hose. Facing the metal sole plate, the hose should be near the right corner. Good luck.
Probably a clog in the hose. Disconnect the hose at both ends. Drop a coin in one end and allow it to fall through and out the other end. If it doesn't, the hose is blocked. Plug the end of the hose into the blower of the vacuum and turn it on. Make sure the other end of the hose is in a plastic bag. This should clear the clog.
Also, check the power nozzle behind the brush. Something may have gotten caught in the elbow near where the wand plugs in.
A full bag will also cause this, or if there's a lot of fine dust in your area, clogged pores in the bag will act the same as a full bag.
Have you checked the screen filter below the bag? This sometimes gets clogged with fuzz and whatnot, resulting in the vacuum shutting off. To clean it simply remove the bag and use a pick or similar item.
A clogged hose will also result in the same problem. Try running without the hose. If the vacuum runs without the hose a blockage in the hose is a probability. However there could be a clog in the power nozzle above the brush, as well. Check the suction at the end of the hose. If very little there's a good possibility this is the problem. Double check by dropping coin in one end and allowing to drop through. If it doesn't there's a clog. It can usually be cleared by plugging the hose into the exhaust port and turning the machine on. Be sure the other end is inside a large plastic bag.
Visually check wands to ensure they're clear. If not, push clog out with a broom stick.
sure you can. get a broom handle, pound a large finish nail into the end and bend the nail into a hook shape. stick the broom handle in the hose which needs to be straight and use the nail hook to grab and pull out the clog. hope this helps you.
Hi! Low suction, poor pickup, or no suction may be due to a clog in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in the sound of the motor or a reduction in the spinning action in the Dirt Container, check for clogs. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet. Empty Dirt Container. Check Upper Tank and Louvers for build up or clogs. Check to make sure Louvers are installed correctly. To unlock the Louvers, grasp the rim and turn toward the left. Pull straight down to remove. If the Louvers are missing or not locked into place, check and clear the tube in the center of the Dirt Container. Remove the Twist ‘n Snap Hose from the vacuum by turning to the left. Check the Suction Inlet, Hose and Hose Wand for clogs. Remove any clogs from the hose using a long, narrow object. Check the Foot Hose for clogs. If needed, remove the screw attaching the Hose Wand Base to the vacuum. Straighten the Foot Hose and unclog with a long, narrow object. If the clog persists, then check the Rotating Floor Brush the Air Passageway for obstructions. Please do rate this solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance. Thanks Rylee
most vacuum hoses are made so you screw off the end attachment not real familiar with your model but pretty sure you can do that then just disattatch from canister and run broom handle through it hope this helps
