My Ultimate G will only switch on if the handle is at an angle, if upright it shuts off.

I thought they all switch off when the handle is at rest in the upright position, for safety.

How to stop the shaft from spinning on a kirby g4 when trying to remove the spindle

If you're experiencing difficulty in removing the spindle on a Kirby G4 vacuum cleaner because the fan is spinning on the shaft, there are a few steps you can try to address this issue: 1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner: Ensure that the vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power source to avoid any accidental injuries. 2. Secure the fan: Take a closer look at the fan assembly and identify if there are any parts that can be held or secured to prevent it from spinning. You may need to use tools like pliers or a wrench to hold the fan in place while you work on removing the spindle. Be cautious not to damage the fan or other components. 3. Determine the direction: Confirm the direction in which the spindle is threaded. Most Kirby vacuums have reverse-threaded spindles, which means you will need to turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. 4. Apply force to the spindle: Once the fan is secured, try applying counterforce to the spindle by turning it counterclockwise. You may need to use a wrench or pliers for better grip and leverage. Apply steady and controlled force, but avoid using excessive force that could potentially damage the components. 5. Penetrating oil: If the spindle is stubborn and difficult to loosen, you can try applying a small amount of penetrating oil, such as WD-40 or similar lubricants, to the junction between the spindle and the shaft. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to help loosen any potential corrosion or debris that might be causing the resistance. 6. Repeat the process: If the spindle still doesn't budge, repeat the steps above, ensuring that the fan is securely held in place and you're applying the correct force and direction to the spindle. If you continue to experience difficulty or are unsure about proceeding, it might be best to consult a professional or reach out to the Kirby customer support for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance tailored to your vacuum model.

I replaced the belt on my 1978 Kirby 3CB shampooer and it keeps coming off the spindle of the vacuum? The shampooer attachment is not that old and hasn't been used much. Everything is clean too.

From my memory of a Kirby I had in the early 80s the belt has a twist in it. It has do go on the right way. One way pulls it on, and the other throws it off due to the rotation of the motor shaft. https://www.google.com/search?q=kirby+3cb+replace+belt ..

My Kirby heritage 2 won't start. How do I check the foot swtich?

There should be a definite audible click when you press down on the switch. Most switches also latch so that there is a little play in the foot switch when it is on. Possible problems included - blown fuse in the plug, damaged cord, failed starter capacitor. It may be an idea to take it to a local vacuum repair store and get an estimate for repair.

I have a Kirby G6 and carpet shampooer won’t foam or produce even foam / water - I have tried : Soap sue plug is in place Sponger filter in place neither of these parts are clogged . Attached correctly has anyone else had this problem please ?

If you are using the correct shampoo then the tank my need to be replaced. They will clog if tank wasn't cleaned after last used. Check that the dial is open and both filters are in place , add water and shampoo and test without the hose connected . If you still have no suds coming out then just order a new tank.

My kirby shampoo is not picking the water up

It is not supposed to pick up water. It creates a foam which you let dry and then vacuum up.

How do I get my zipper unstuck on my Kirby Vacuum 100

You might try some lubricant like Vaseline ,sewing machine oil ,DW40 or even cooking oil and after you have soaked the zipper and along the track both ways use a pair of pliers or similar to grasp the zipper and move it in the direction that should open the zipper ! this might be difficult at the start so dont use excessive force in fact a push and pull method often works best ( or pull one way and then the other )because a realignment of the zippers teeth is often what is required and forcing the zipper can often tear them away from the material and a zipper replacement would then be necessary, other causes of stuck zippers are things like stray cotton or material caught up in the teeth and zipper ! If you do end up having to force the zipper maybe replace the zipper with a strong Velcro or a more robust zipper with larger teeth .
