My Eureka Lite speed whirlwind has a bad odor when it runs.

Our Eureka Lite speed Whirlwind has been used to vacumn dog hair etc and now it stinks when I start it. I think i need a new hepa filter and the filter inside the dirt can. I don't see the exact parts online. It is a
Model #5843. Please advise and I would like to repace them if this is where the odor lies.
Thank You,
Arlene

It is either the filter or on the roller or belt.

Eureka Model Whirlwind litespeed. The rotart brush does not turn or rotate. Should it turn or rotate in order to give better suction?

Hello fnintel, yes, if you are using the upright vacuum it should spin, ( the belt likely slipped off, or the brush is clogged with hair and the likes.)
However, if you are using the hose on the vacuum like a shop vac, some models bypass the rotary brush.
Good luck!

Eukerka lite speed

There are 2 screws on the top cover, remove those and the cover comes off, then you can get to the brush roll and belt. Inspect the brush roll, make sure the ends turn freely, if not, then replace it also.
