There is a lot of confusion out there about whether or not the Dyson Ball vacuum has a belt. The answer is yes, it does have a belt. This belt is located inside the vacuum, and it helps to power the roller brush.
According to Dyson the belt should last the lifetime of the machine. If you are having problems with the brushbar rotating here is an interactive link which shows how to check the brushbar and how to reset the cleaner. http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/dc24/dc24…
Dyson Belts, Fits: All Upright Vacuum Cleaner Models Using one Belt System, 3 Belts in Pack.
If your vacuum runs but isn`t always picking up dirt, it might be time to change the belt. Consumer Reports` experts reveal how fast and simple it is to install a new belt which can save you a trip to the repair shop.
You should replace the belts on your vacuum at least every three to six months if the vacuum is regularly used. This is very important for proper cleaning.
A Dyson vacuum cleaner has a lifespan of around 10 years. This is considerably longer than most other vacuums. So, if you`re looking for a high-quality vacuum cleaner that will last you for a long time, a Dyson could be a good choice. However, remember that Dyson vacuums are expensive.
If your vacuum`s belt is misaligned, it may cause unusual sounds and smells like burning rubber due to a build-up of friction and heat. Use the Dyson Ball Animal Brushbar Replacement Guide to remove the vacuum`s brush bar and view its belt.
Most cases of a jammed or stuck brush bar are quick and easy to fix, simply pulling the debris gently from the brush bar. Alternatively, if you need to clear a problematic blockage, you can take the brush bar out of the housing easily, for quick maintenance.
