Clarke Vacuums - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

If you attach a picture of the scrubber, and give the model number, I can help. I retired from repairing these floor machines after 30 years. I like Clarke machines.

if yours is a dual motor unit a microswitch in the base of the vac powers the brush roller, additionally the carbon brushes may need replacement..far cheeper than a motor.
or your belt may be stripped or streched due to string or hair binding the bearing

If you know how to open the machines and can gain access to the internal terminals and you have any kind of meter with Ohms function, check from each side of AC plug to the terminals inside the machine, obviously, with nothing plugged into the wall.
You should have readings of less than 2-3 ohms for each line and it should be even less.

Then place the switch in the 'on' position (STILL NOT PLUGGED IN!) and measure across the internal terminals.
Depending on the motor and condition of the brushes, you should measure resistance from somewhere between a few ohms to perhaps a 100+ ohms.
If it measures much higher, either the brushes are no longer contacting or a motor winding is open.
The latter case would likely make the machines worthless since most manufacturers will charge way too much for a replacment motor to make it worthwhile.

Remember to avoid having anything plugged into the wall since the procedures described do not require it.

You may have a bad switch, one part of it is not turning on the brush roll motor. It could also be the brush roll motor.

That would depend on the make and model of the steamer.

Replace the part that is faulty. Here is the parts lists. https://www.google.com/search?q=Bissell+1713+Crosswave+parts+diagram ..

To turn off the LED service light on your Aerus CentraLux central vacuum model E130J after replacing the motor, switch the blue box on the circuit board from "ON" to "MEDI."

Alot depends on the type of hose. There are plastic hoses and rubber hoses. Generally you can use a smaller plastic connector to connect two rubber hoses together and visa versa, Make sure it is a snug fix. You could also use an adhesive to keep it together.
