Kirby g6 will not pic up dirt. Belt is on and bag

There could be a problem with the motor or the switch. Electrical problems like this should be done by a qualified repair person for safety's sake.

Change the bag? Change the Belt? Check the brush roller.
It's one of those three 99% of the time.

Hi there. It sounds like you belt may be stretched. Simple turn vac upside down, start it up and carefully press your hand on the brush. If the belt is stretched the rollewr will stop turning. If this does not help, you probably have a clog in the power head area. Hope this helps, Chris

your belt has probably been stretched to the point where it will not work so good.

Sure can,

You have two choices,
1.) To use your shampoo attachment, you'll need the fluffer shield, To set up the attachment seperate the tray assembly (the part that holds the roller brush) from the nozzle assembly (the part that attaches to the machine). Now seperate the roller brush from the tray (easiest way is to pull the belt). Insert the roller brush into the fluffer shield (it only goes one way). Insert the fluffer shield with the roller brush installed into the nozzle assembly the plastic shield will be faced towards the front of the machine. Turn belt lifter to where the red arrows match and attach to the front of the machine. Turn belt lifter to where the green arrows match and you should be in business.

2.) Your using the floor buffing attachment it the easiest method just put on like the floor nozzle (thing you vacuum with).

You need a new belt. When the green light goes out, that means your brushroll has stopped spinning. Here's how to change it....

Even if you just replaced the belt, this guide will help you make sure that you got the brushroll back in the right way.

Hope it helps....

Hi There,

            It sounds like you ready for a new belt, It needs to be a Genuine Knurled belt which has dimmples on this inside for extra grip.

The G5 manual is out of print, but the G6 and Ultimate G models are exactly the same and wil work perfectly for your questions.
