Take my word for it, the plastic bag and / or its' remains is / are somewhere in the hose. Visibility of clear plastic in the dark environs of the interior of the hose is extremely limited if possible at all. Some hoses are corrugated on the inside especially if so on the outside. Without specificity as to brand my best first shot would be to attach the hose to the vacuum cleaners exhaust and try to blow the plastic back out the hose. The exhaust is the port from which the air comes out when everything's working as it should. Even before that, disconnect the hose from the canister, turn on the machine and see if there's any suction at the port where the hose attaches. No suction at the port eliminates the hose as the problem. If your machine will run without a bag, take the bag out and momentarily turn the machine on. Suction with no bag = bad bag. Still no suction= a trip to the vacuum service / sales store
most upright vaccums have a reset button at lower rear area of the vaccum. operates similar to gfi plug reset, push button back in usually with small screwdriver. is your debris bag to full? power brush jammed with debris? hose plugged? this will cause motor to over heat and in turn kick out reset button. always unplug power cord before putting fingers in areas where moving parts are!!
If their is problem with the sucction,you should clean or replace the bag seen inside your vaccum cleaner If any basic part of your vaccum cleaner lost excludes brushes and cleaners you can't use it.
well if you must clean it,,(not a good idear to do so) you could throw it in the washer by its self! but its far better to put a new cloth bag into the vaccum cleaner,, a washed cloth bag wont work half as well as a new bag will,,all you will get is even more dust out of it,,,thats twice the cleaning,, buy a new bag and save the time and work
Slide the plastic piece off the cloth bag and open the top. Looking down into the cloth bag, you will see the old bag. It is secured to the machine near the top. You will find the cardboard collar about a third of the way down. Remove it carefull. Now, stand BEHIND the machine and put your knee against the back of the handle and taking the new bag, open the hole in the cardboard collar and insert the bag into the cloth bag and put the cardboard collar onto the handle fitting. It helps to put the lower part of the hole on first and then press the top of the collar onto the handle fitting. The idea of standing behind with your knee against the handle is so that as you attach the bag, you will be pushing against your knee which will steady the machine and allow you to use the required force to complete the action. Once completed, fold the top of the paper bag down, so that when you replace the top slider, the paper bag is NOT clamped between the cloth bag and the slider.
