Kirby G6 Bagged Upright Vacuum - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hopping - jumping - skipping - bouncing
It could be that you have the brush settings wrong for your carpet type. Check if the brushes are on number 3, if so, try dropping them down a notch or two and see if that does it.
I think that the brushes when spinning spin towards you, so when pulling the vacuum back, the brushes are helping to drive, when pushing forward, you are pushing against the brushes. If the brushes are sticking out too far, it could cause bouncing/jumping.
HTH :)
Light doesn't work

The kirby wont start no power
Start by checking to insure you're getting proper voltage through the cord. Make sure the bag emptor and front brush roll nozzle are installed properly as each must activate the switch for it to run. It could have a defective switch.
The vacuum drive makes a wining sound
Does It make the noise all the time or only when the machine is moving. If it does it only when you push the vacuum that noise is normal. The older Kirby transmissions make a whining noise when pushed.
Why doesn't the shampooer dispense suds width of the tray
You need a new screen on your tank. It's the little tiny round plastic one that fits onto the tank where the hose plugs into it. (not the foam one) Yours may be wedged sideways in your tank hose (this is a common occurrence) If your screen is damaged (loose around the edge) you will need to buy a new one.
