I have replaced the belt on my Dirt Devil Breeze upright bagless vacuum once already. I vacuumed the majority of the house, then started to smell rubber burning. I found that the motor shaft (where the bottom part of the belt wraps around) is too hot and is melting the rubber belt. Is there a piece that is missing? Should there be an additional piece around the motor shaft to prevent this from happening or is it a problem with the motor?
When your first belt burnt, the burnt plastics goes into the roller ends and then it dries off causing your roller to not turn or put more pressure on your belt. Until you clean that you will continue burning your belts soon after you put them in. You need to add a little bit of WD40 or any other type of lubricant after you remove the tar from the roller.
