How do remove the plastic elbow on the hose. A sock is stuck in hose

Here are some methods you can try to remove that pesky sock:

Using a Coat Hanger:
Turn off your vacuum and unplug it for safety.
Straighten out a wire coat hanger, ensuring it has no sharp edges or points.
Carefully insert one end of the coat hanger into the vacuum hose.
Gently maneuver the coat hanger around, trying to hook onto the sock.
Once you have a good grip on the sock, slowly pull it out of the hose.
Remember to exercise caution to avoid damaging your vacuum cleaner or injuring yourself.

Vacuuming in Reverse:
Locate your vacuum cleaner's exhaust port.
Disconnect or detach any accessories from this port.
Attach your vacuum cleaner hose securely over this port.
Turn on your vacuum cleaner and let it run for several seconds.
The reverse airflow created may dislodge and push out the stubborn sock from within the hose.

Seek Professional Help:
If both methods fail, consider contacting a local appliance repair service or reaching out directly to the manufacturer of your specific model.
Trained professionals can offer expert advice or perform repairs if needed.
Remember to turn off the vacuum and unplug it before attempting any disassembly or cleaning.

Hi, this is Jim with Crucial Vacuum,

Detach the hose and stretch it out completely, if the sock is in a hard to reach place use a broom handle to push it out. Be careful to mind the edges of the hose you don't want to cause a tear, which would lead to poor suction.

The easiest way to remove an article of clothing from the hose is to remove one end of the hose from the vacuum, and reach in with a piece of wire with the end bent into a hook. A wire coathanger will work well for this. Just straighten out the coathanger, take a pair of pliers, and put a small bend at the end of the wire, in a J, or hook shape. Then, reach the wire into the hose, and when you feel the obstruction, twist the wire, so that the hook gets stuck on the sock. Then, pull it out, and reattatch the end of the hose back on the vacuum.
It doesn't matter which end of the hose you remove, just whichever is easier, and hopefully closest to the clog.

Do not try to push it out, as it will just bunch up tighter. It must be pulled out.

If the plastic insert has come off then that is not normal. It should be all one piece to the hose. You might have a hose problem that needs replacing.

turn the vac upside down then stretch out the hose the stick will eventually fall out

remove dust bin from hover and remove handle from hose then remove hose from hover and push a peice of doul up hose to remove sock and rebuild hover or buy new hose hope this helps

Yes there is a small clip on the purple/yellow part on bottom of hose. its hardly an inch thick pll back on the tab and up on the hose

You'll need a sturdy stick like a thick bamboo stick to push this out but remove the hose FIRST from the vacuum and compact the hose up before inserting the stick. Either that or you may have to order a new hose which can be cheap. What model is it you have?

lol

Try taping a fishing hook or some such onto the end of a straightened out coat hanger. See if you can push it up the hose and hook the sock.

Or, remove the hose entirely, and push a broom handle down the hose.

That's all I got...
