The Brilliance has a lifetime belt but if it gets overheated it can get warped and comes off. Normally you do not need to replace the belt unless there is a problem. You have to remove the cover over the power nozzle assembly by removing the screws on the bottom. Notice how the belt goes around the motor shaft and through the "Hall Assembly" which is the spring loaded lever that detects a jam and shuts the brush roll motor off.

SOURCE: How to replace belt

Most Riccar's, turn vac over, take off the bottom plate, Brush roll and belt are there. Put new belt over motor shaft, then over brush roll, push brush roll back into place and re-install bottom plate.

SOURCE: Where is the model number on the Riccar Brilliance

As you're looking at the back of the vacuum, the model number should be located on the tag beside the right wheel. If there is no model number there, then the model is simply the name of the vacuum, in this case Brilliance.

The roller brush of my Riccar Brilliance vacuum is suddenly spinning extremely fast; way faster than normal, and is very loud. How do I rectify that?

I will likely save money by having it checked out by your local Riccar service center. A Brilliance can last a long time and work great but like any quality vacuum should be properly serviced every year or two depending on use. A qualified service technician knows what to look for and what your vacuum needs to work properly.

I can't reset my thermal reset button on my Riccar Brilliance

You may have hair and debris in the endcaps or bearings of your brushroll causing a restriction. The belt sensor thinks you have something stuck in the brushroll so it shuts it off. It's a simple fix, if you can't figure out how to do it take it to your Riccar dealer.

How can I replace the belt on a Riccar Rad 8 model

Your belt should not need replaced unless it has over heated the belt somehow. It has a lifetime belt. There are screws on the bottom of the vacuum that allow the cover of the nozzle assembly to be removed to gain access to the belt area. It may be less cost in the long run to have it looked at by a Riccar repair technician.

Riccar brilliance fan replacement

Take off the bottom plate and the nozzle housing cover. Remove the motor cover to get to the direct air motor. This is not a difficult fix if you take your time to make sure you reassemble it properly
