Blocked vax 1700 does anyone know how to clear the blockage
The best way to clear a blockage on a Vax 1700 vacuum cleaner is to turn the machine off and remove the dust canister. Then remove the filter from the dust canister and rinse it in water to remove any debris. After the filter is dry, re-insert it into the dust canister and put the canister back into the machine. Finally, turn the vacuum back on to ensure the blockage has been cleared.

Hi , I have a vax rapid power revive carpet cleaner and the brushes aren't spinning, can you help?
To troubleshoot this issue, start by checking the belt on the cleaner. Make sure it has not become cracked or frayed. Also ensure the brushes are properly installed and not hampered by dirt or debris. If the belt looks intact and the brushes are secure, next check the belt tensioning wheel. It should be properly tightened, so if necessary, adjust accordingly. Lastly, some models use separate power sources to drive the brush roll and the suction motor, so make sure that both are working correctly.

Vax carpet shampooer keeps burning out belts!
Question edited for clarity.
No Gary
It's not the carpet. The brush bar bearing ends are clogged up with hair and stuff. The brush wasn't turning properly and burnt the belt out. You put another one in and because the brush bar was still clogged and not turning freely, it burned out the new belt. Turn the machine over and try to turn the brush bar with your fingers. It is tight isn't it? Remove it and clean it. It should spin freely. I do my Dyson every 6 months. Video in the link.

Vax rapid power plus upholstery hose trickling water
There are a few things you can try to fix your Vax rapid power plus upholstery hose:
- Check the water tank: Make sure the water tank is full and securely in place. If it is not securely in place, it can cause a reduction in water flow.
- Check the nozzle: Remove the nozzle and clean it thoroughly. If there is any debris or buildup, it can cause a blockage in the nozzle and reduce the water flow.
- Check the hose: Check the hose for any kinks, twists or damage. If there are any kinks or twists, it can reduce the water flow. If the hose is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
- Check the pump: Check the pump for any blockages or damage. If the pump is not working properly, it can reduce the water flow.
If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact Vax customer support for further assistance or to have the machine repaired.
