Broken belt - Riccar Vacuums

check and clean the brush bearings located on each end most reasons that belts break is the brushes are binding from debris --others bad belt or old and dried out

did you check the belt?

Belt was broken, so I had to go inside the motor assembly -- torx screws all the way. The problem is finding a replacement belt without buying a whole new power drive.

The belt may have streached so that when pressure is applied to it the belt slips. The belt will not be broken just streached to far.

Your belt number will be listed on the data label with the model number. Check your local Hoover / Dirt devil dealer for the part.

The belt doesn't have to be broken to be non-functioning. If the belt is intact but stretched it won't turn the brush. You can get belts here:

The belt may not be broken but after 3 years the belt will have stretched and it will not turn the brush. You should change the belt every year. Changing the belt is an inexpensive fix. I would try that first and if it doesn't do the trick I would take it to a repair shop. You can get the belt you need here:
