Black & Decker AV1200 DustBuster Handheld Vacuum - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If the battery is nicad they will not tolerate leaving on charger past full charge.

Either the battery pack needs replaced or the charger is not working correctly.

That is probably the belt. Open up the bottom screws and take a look. The cat or dog hair usually gets stuck in the ends of the rollers and stops the belt from effectively pushing the roller. You may find that the belt is still on the drive and the roller. If you do just clean out the roller.

If it will not come on there are several things you need to check. First off you should call and have your model type and serial number checked to be sure your unit isnt affected by the recall they had due to expanding batteries. Second you do have a 2 year warranty on the unit and if it wont even turn on there may be a defect. Are the blue charging lights coming on? If they are and your transformer is warm then there is more then likely a defective battery in the unit and you should contact customer service at 1800-896-9756

If the unit itself is under a year I would take it back to the store. It sounds like the unit is not charging properly which you already know. Check to see if you actually have charge coming out of your charger. Usually there is a charge light. Is it bright when charging? If you have a volt meter you can check the voltage coming out of the charger to verify if there is indeed voltage coming out. Let me know what you discover.

I am not certain about this specific battery, however, if many batteries are unused for a long period of time, they can not be rejuvenated.
Try the switch in each position for 24 hours and if there is no action, it is probably not worth repairing.

if its not working at all it has a fault that could be anywere if it is working but with little suction then the batery is no good replace the battery

The wheel is the pivot and cover for the filters. It opens up to show the filters behind for cleaning.

Ours began making a hideous grinding racket and then quit altogether. Upon disassembly, I found a plastic guard protecting the fan that had warped and was preventing the motor from turning at all. Your problem may be related to the same plastic guard. I removed mine and now all is well...I think. If only I could find a replacement for this little guard. Every online parts distributor I've seen will only go as far as selling filters and prefilters.

Question edited for clarity and spelling Dacker to Decker. Question moved from Power Computers. All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'. Black and Decker make electric screwdrivers, electric drills, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, breadmakers, toasters, irons, toaster ovens and garden equipment like leaf vacuums and trimmers plus electric mowers. You give no clue to which you have, so it is a question that can't be answered. It _may_ be in this link? https://www.google.com/search?q=Black+%26+Decker+power+button+just+blinks ..

On 20V Black and Decker hand vac I was broken motor mounts. I took a housing off with 4 screws and could see that after 2-3 seconds of running the motor would move outwards and pull the fan into another housing. There are 6 struts that the motor rests within. But they do not provide enough friction to keep the motor from moving outward. So I cleaned everything off well, and wiped it down with some acetone. Then I epoxied these struts to the motor body. I think this will work.In the photo you can see a screw. There are breaks in the plastic body that the screw would secure.You can see some struts epoxied to the motor body.

Clean or replace filters if good remove roller and clean clear intake and hose

The vacuum is defective, thought brand new out of the box.

It is surely under guarantee and should be returned to the supplier...
