Electrolux Epic 3500 Replacement Belt

No. The Electrolux (Aerus) uprights are auto adjusting to the height of the carpet. Make sure the brush is spinning when the vacuum is on. If it's not, this will cause difficulty in use.

Check the piece of flex hose between the vacuum body and the power nozzle. This will sometimes get a blockage in it, causing varying motor speeds.
You can remove the tube by grasping it firmly and pulling from the power nozzle. Then twist clockwise to remove it from the vacuum body. Clear blockage with a wooden spoon handle or similar blunt object. Insert tube into body and twist counter-clockwise until tight. Insert other end into power nozzle about an inch, or until it stops.

Another thing to check is the foam filter at the bottom of the bag well. Remove and replace if necessary. If a new one is unavailable, the vacuum can be used until you get a new one. Or rinse the old one out and allow to thorougly air dry before using. Also check the screen covering the motor intake and clean if needed.

Also, if your machine is fitted with a afterfilter on the lower side of the tank, this may need to be removed if dirty.

See my other posts for the directions for change. Hope this helps!

Hi, it's Allie from Crucial Vacuum! Keeping your vacuum's hose unclogged and clear is very crucial to maintaining your unit running properly. Start by unplugging your unit for security reasons. Detach the hose from both ends of the unit and wand. If there is a clog you can use the end of a broom stick to gently push out the clog. Be very careful with this as you do not want to tear your hose. If the problem doesn't seem to be a clog you may need to take a look at your belt and brush roller. Most brush rollers can be fixed with a good cleaning. If there is too much debris cluttered around the roller and bearings, it will be unable to turn properly. Since the brush roller is connected to the belt, a dirty roller can overstrain the belt causing it to break or burning out the motor. A vacuum belt assist in turning the roller using tensions. Over time, a vacuum belt will stretch out and lose tension. A vacuum belt should be change every 6-12 months.

Actually the top comes off from the bottom base. Remove the underside screws, flip the machine over and gently remove the gray cover from the motor and brush assembly. Once inside, remove two more screws holding down the brush cover which is also part of the tunnel. It will reveal the brush, belt, and much dirt so be prepared.
