Belt falls off Dirt Devil upright

Hi! Your vacuum is most likely not picking up because of a clog, dirty filter or worn belt or a combination of the three. Please try these trouble shooting steps below.

1. Check that the brushes are still spinning. If not replace the belt.
2. Remove the hose from both ends. Use a broom stick to loosen and remove any clogs from the hose.
3. Remove the dirt cup. Remove the red baffle tube by rotating 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. Clear the baffle tube of any hair or debris. Replace the baffle tube.
4. Remove the filter from vacuum base. Hold filter under running water to rinse. Allow 24 hours to air dry before replacing.

Hope this helps get your vacuum back up and running!

It could be an old belt even if the upright is new. Check that the beater bar is not clogged with dust or threads and find a replacement belt for this vacuum and fit it to see if there is any difference. If not, then there's a problem with the vac and it should be returned.

there are 4 screws on the bottom 3 around the grid and 1 towards the back of the bottom plate.lift it off, but make sure you clean the old rubber off the motor shaft or your new belt won't last

on the bottom you will see 4 screws.take them out and the bottom plate will come off.before you put the new belt on look at the motor shaft.if you see old rubber on it you need to clean it off or your new belt won't last very long

Placing belt back on vacuum it keeps braking
Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. Dirt Devil M087700SV Bagless Upright Vacuum. From what I can see you may have 2 problems. #1. It may be that your brushroll is not spinning freely and could be bound up with thread, dust and dirt on the bearing ends, or #2. The motor pulley is not spinning freely – you should take the motor pulley and try to spin it and if it spins freely then it must be the brushroll, either cleanout or replace the bearings or buy a new brushroll and start over. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.
