Turn the unit on and feel the suction at the end of the hose handle. If there is no or low suction, then the clog is in the hose. You can remove the clog by running a long, stiff object through the hose, such as a butter knife, starting at the wall end.

.It has been a while for me so take your time and some of the steps may have to be completed slightly differently.
.Isolate / unplug the machine from the mains
.Remove the bag, handle and front roller assembly so you are left with a bare machine.
.Remove the rear switch cover – 1 x screw.
.remove the top aluminium cover 2 x screws at the back and 2 x screws at the front below the light.
.You should now see the motor and tech drive.
.Remove the tech drive, tech drive belt and rear wheels 4 x screws below the machine.
.Remove the wiring to the motor noting the correct connections for putting back.
.unscrew the motor 4 x screws inside (think) and two at the front below the fan aperature.
.remove the motor and fan complete.
.To remove the fan, note the hole through the fan shaft close to the belt position, this is for leverage when unscrewing the fan, hold the motor shaft, insert a small screw driver or punch through the shaft hole and unscrew to remove the fan.
.Re-fit in reverse order.

A casa blanca tri-switch on the wall: lights-fan-power
When I turn it on, the lights and fan work fine.
After a period of time, the lights go off by themselves.
I don’t remember the fan ever going off by itself, only the lights.
.Now attempt to do the job only if your are competent with high voltage circuits as the circuit must be checked before and after the lights switch off.
.It is also possible that the switching device the thyristor may be on dry soldering joint. So with the mains power off( or the power disconnected to the unit) have yourself insulated , use a soldering iron to touch up all the joints.
.Failure of capacitors in the trigger circuit is also possible to have this delay off.
.Trace the trigger voltage cut off at this point to come to the solution.( use a multimeter)
You must remove the carpet head and then looking from the back of the machine you will find a series of philips screws on the outer edge of the fan housing facing towards the front, several of which may be partly covered by the motor housing. You will remove the forward facing screws to allow the housing to separate and reveal the fan.
If you are lucky there will be a sideways hole through the impeller shaft allowing you to slip a nail through to help twist the saft to unscrew it while holding the fan .
The shaft will turn off revealing a threaded motor shaft with spacers which the broken fan will slide off revealing a second spacer at the back . Be sure to replace these spacers in the same order when re-assembling the unit. Secure the shaft hand tight. Post back to advise if you need further help
