I have a ultimate g kirby and I am trying to replace a broken belt with no clue. Can you talk me thru it?

This is most likely due to a broken belt. See following site for an instructional video for replacing the belt.

That means that the belt is stretched or broken. You need to replace it. You can get replacement belts here:

Kirby Ultimate G Belts

Greetings,

I recorded a video repair of replacing the belt for the Kirby generation vacuum cleaner. The following video will walk you through step by step on how to replace your Kirby belt, as well as doing some basic maintenance to the roller brush to prolong the life of your belt as long as possible.

I read the fixit website about getting the roller off on maybe a newer version of Kirby vacuum cleaner is there a solution for the same problem with the Utimate G?

This was addressed previously here:

Here is the link to the detailed instructions for belt changing. When you take the brushroll out, make sure that the brushroll spins freely. If it doesn't it will burn up your belts and needs to be replaced.

Hi, I'm Jon IO used to sell these machines and I also own an Ultimate G, And sounds like to me it's a loose or broken transmission belt, I think you should have your local Kirby dealer take a look at it or even a good quality vacuum shop will be able to look at it.
