How to put a wheel on a riccar moonlight canister

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.

Hi, I can help. Flip the canister on it's back. Remove all crews. Should pull apart from there. If not check around body to see if it's clipped. You may have to pry the sides apart. That will give you access. Be careful and pay attention to where everything is. Good luck.

After you shut the water off, unscrew the canister, remove old filter and check it against new filter. (They should be the same) check fo arrows (if there are any point in upward position) insert and screw canister back on, fasten securely, turn water back on.

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

Have a trained technician make the repair.
Some of the machines require special tools to proceed.

clean filter,and check fuse

I recently purchased the same unit and had the same issue. I have since received a replacement and realized where the problem was for me. when Honeywell packages the unit for shipment they place all the extra parts including the muffler inside the canister. If the box is inverted in the shipping process than all those items create pressure on the filter/bag that seals the dirt canister from the suction side of the motor. In my case the bag was damaged/torn from the items inside during shipment and I didn't realize it. The motor then sucks a lot of hair, dirt and debris into it's cooling blades causing extra load when it turns. In my case it was extreme enough excess load that it overheated the brushes and covered everything in black soot. So...if it runs hot i suggest you inspect the bag/filter for holes. best of luck ..it worked for me

Fill the water in the basin to the top of the peg in the middle of the basin. (a little over an inch in the 2 quart basin) The Rainbow blows out air just like any other vacuum cleaner does throught the exhaust port. It will blow out there while the vacuum is running if the exhaust port cover is missing. Otherwise, with cover in place, it will blow out air all around the mid section of the canister while it is running.
