The most common vacuum cleaner faults
Article by Ron Jackson
Whether you’ve got an upright, bagged, bagless, cylinder or hand held vacuum cleaner, here are some of the most common faults for you to look out for and when you know what to look for, you’re more likely to be able to prevent the problem or tell your appliance engineer exactly what the problem is to make sure they bring the probable replacement parts.
If you are experiencing poor suction or no suction from your vacuum cleaner the most common problem is that the bag is full and needs replacing; if the problem persists after the bag has been replaced first check that none of the pipes are blocked and remove any obstructions if they are, then check the filters and replace these if necessary. The final thing to check is that the hose is intact, if there are any cracks, dents or holes then the vacuum cleaner will not function to its full capacity and you will need a replacement hose.
A lot of vacuum cleaners have electrical flexes which automatically rewind for safe and hassle free storage so if yours does but it has stopped working, try completely unfurling the flex and making sure there are no knots or twists and if it still won’t rewind, you may need to call an appliance repair engineer to fix the spring.
Sometimes vacuum cleaners give a warning sign that something is about to go wrong by suddenly becoming a lot noisier, if this happens it can be an indicator of something as simple as a full bag or an obstruction or something more complicated such as a dirty motor, broken fan or faulty drive belt. In the case of any of these, make sure you get a quote for quick vacuum repairs from a specialist appliance repairs engineer in your local area.
When a vacuum cleaner spits out dirt and dust rather than picks it up the problem is more than likely a full bag but if it continues to happen once you’ve replaced the bag it might be time to book in for a vacuum repair from a local engineer.
If your vacuum cleaner simply won’t turn on, make sure you unplug the appliance from the mains before checking that the plug, wire and plug socket are all intact, if not call out an electrician to take a look and if they are, it’s probably time to call in fast appliance repairs and get your vacuum cleaner back up and running as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these problems it is worth checking out some quick vacuum repairs which, when booked through a reputable appliance repairs company, could save you the time, money and effort associated with buying a new one.
For fast appliance repairs go online and search for anything from quick vacuum repairs to a brand specific appliance repair and find a site which will book you a local appliance engineer at a time to suit you.
