Whats wrong with my vacuum???

Question

I bought a dirt devil reaction fresh a few months ago and today the brush at the bottom suddenly stopped spinning and the cyclones also stopped spinning. I'm pretty sure there are no clogs because when i use the attachments they work. i even took the cyclones out and cleaned them; there seems to be nothing wrong. it just stopped working out of the blue. i do not want to have to replace the vacuum. is there anything i can do?

Answer 1

I’d guess your belt broke or came off.

Answer 2

pull off the plastic cover over the brush and see if the belt has snapped or slipped off the pulley. if its the belt you can usually find replacements at your local walmart, fred meyers or possibly a safeway type store. look up your vacuum model and which replacement belt is needed.

Answer 3

Definitly sounds like a belt, it could have easily be snagged and broke.

Answer 4

Yes it could be your belt,but you might want to check the roller on the brush,,if you have a pet,you have long hair, all this can wrap it's self around the roller (it's hard to see at a glance ,you have to really take a good look) and stop the roller movement.
