Vacuum Repair Solutions

Vacuums can either be pedestals of quality or cheap junk, but eventually, any machine with moving parts will break down. The Kirbys and Hoovers take a little longer to need vacuum repairs.
Often when a vacuum stops sucking even though it turns on, consumers think that it is clogged. However before examining for a clog you need to check for even more common and easily fixed problems. Unquestionably, most Denver vacuum repairs can be finished by changing the bag or replacing the belt. Bagless vacuum manufacturers like Dyson claim that their bagless machines never need service. You should still try to clean off the filter regularly.
If you have done this and still think you have a clog, make sure the vacuum is unplugged and follow the hose. See if there is somewhere you can remove it and look for anything stuck. If there is suction at the canister and none at the head, you can be pretty assured that you are looking at a clog in the hose. Some Hoover vacuums come with a reverser and you can try and blow the debris out. Otherwise you are going to need a clothes hanger or dowel to try and poke it out. Once you think you have removed the jam, try dropping something heavy like a quarter or marble through to make sure it is unclogged. Then repeat the process with the head or any attachments that are jammed.
If you turn the vacuum on and the motor does not turn over then there is a good chance you have an electrical problem. Powered vacuum brushes have a separate motor that can fail also. If the head is not spinning but the vacuum is on, look for the wire connecting the power head to the rest of the vacuum. This is electrical repair work so if you are not comfortable doing it yourself you should take it to a Denver vacuum repairs shop. If you can hear the motor spinning but the head doesn’t turn you may be lucky and only need to fix the wiring and not the whole hose. Use alligator clips and an electrical resistance meter to determine how far down power is running in the vacuum.
Other electrical problems can be to the cord connecting the vacuum to the wall outlet. Cheap plastic vacuum bodies can break at the cord point.
There are some preventative maintenance you can do to try and prevent the need for Denver vacuum repairs. Don’t fill bags up completely because this restricts airflow and overheats the engine. Replace filters and clean out the inside of the vacuum to maintain proper airflow.
