Could be the a/c cord, a problem with the noozle not pushing the saftey switch, the bag emptor(bottom of outer bag) isn't on the of the way and not engaging the other safety switch. The other is a problem with the motor.

Model G4D. Drive wheels run in reverse, not forward. If you tighten the 3 torx head screws on the bottom, the wheels don't turn at all.

it means you had a problem with the allignment or the screws has a different thigthness then check the wheels allignment check the starting capacitor maybe it is damage allready replace it.

The foot switch does not turn on the G4D Kirby vacuum cleaner.

Here's a link to a free guide! The switch is available at this site as well...there is a link in the guide to buy one.

Kirby G4D belt change . haven't changed the belt in years ! not sure who it goes on, or around the the spool housing ??

Changing belt on Kirby is a bit complicated. Kirby Co. just did not make it easy for their customers. You have to be careful when installing the brush roll back. Brush roll end caps have to be put back a certain way. For detailed instructions with pictures go HERE.

Good Luck,
Rocky
