How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Vacuum cleaners are fairly simple machines. They need power to be transmitted to the vacuum to create a suction force that lifts debris. So, the usual areas that cause suction loss include the wrong height setting, stuck rollers, a faulty gasket, a broken vacuum belt, a filled bag, or a clogged hose.
All vacuum cleaners operate based on air flowing from the opening at the cleaning head or tool, through the vacuum cleaner and the bag and/or filter system and then out the exhaust port. This airflow is created by the vacuum motor, which also may be referred to as the suction motor.
Check for a plugged hose:
Plugged vacuum hoses are sometimes the reason for a loss in suction. Hoses can get clogged with hair, dust bunnies, string, or anything else that can`t pass through the other end of the hose. Airways inside the machine should be looked at as well. Wherever there is an air passage, check it.
Possible Causes: The brush roll is blocked. The cleaner might be overheated. The battery is empty (last LED blinks)
One of the easiest ways to increase vacuum cleaner suction is to empty the dust bag or container. Dust containers need to have enough space for airflow, otherwise, they could get clogged and have less suction power. Regularly check your dust compartment and empty or change it when it`s already 70-80% full.
Boil old suction cups to revive them.
Take the pot off of heat and drop your suction cups in for about 30 seconds. Take them out with a pair of tongs and pat them dry on a lint-free towel. Try to use the suction cups right after you dry so they`re still warm and flexible.
The ECU will generally operate the SCV by PWM to control the rail pressure as required for the driving and load conditions. This pressure is monitored by the fuel rail pressure sensor to ensure suitability.
Suction pressure is the negative difference in pressure between two places that drags liquid or gas from a higher pressure state to a lower pressure state. The suctional force in plants is caused by transpiration. This force aids the plant in obtaining essential minerals from the soil.
The suction power is to be measured at the end of the tube of a complete vacuum cleaner (i.e. with tube, hose and filters – but without nozzle). Some manufacturers show the results from measurements made at the suction of the actual vacuum cleaner.
Suction pressure should be kept at less than 200 mmHg in adults. It should be set at 80 mmHg to 120 mmHg in neonates.
The most common problems found in vacuum cleaners are low suction force, excessive noise, burning smell, vacuum not turn on, and overheating. These issues can be fixed by either cleaning the device or replacing some parts of the device. At times, it is best to seek a professional to fix the cleaner effectively.
A damaged vacuum hose, clogged motor air filter or bad suction motor can cause the vacuum cleaner to shut off during use. A tripped overload on the vacuum suction motor can shut off the vacuum cleaner during use. If your vacuum has a reset button, push it; if the vacuum seems hot, let it cool off first.
Symptoms of SCV failure
The most common symptoms are a lack of power or rough idling; both these faults may be intermittent.
In this issue, not so much is a fault code always present, the symptoms of stalling, runs rough, surges or does not start and/ or does start and then stalls again are evident which points the technician to the Suction Control Valve (SCV).
Valve, which in the case of valve-controlled (piston) pumps, opens due to the vacuum cased by the reverse pistons and allows hydraulic fluid to flow through afterwards. In the lower reversal point of the piston, the suction valve is once again pulled shut by a weak spring.
Suction pressure is used when a fluid is being drawn into a system, vacuum pressure is used when the pressure is measured with respect to the absolute vacuum, and negative gauge pressure is used when the pressure at a specific point needs to be measured relative to the atmospheric pressure.
What is vacuum suction? A vacuum suction massage treatment is a mechanical lymphatic drainage treatment. It is used to stimulate the lymphatic system and aids: removal of waste products, draining lymph from the tissues.
Suction is the measure of pressure created by a vacuum motor measured in inches of water lift. Air flow is the measure of air volume flowing through a system measured in CFM or cubic feet per minute.
Max(4000 PA): It can deeply clean the place that needs cleaning, dust cleaning is up 80%, garbage collection is up 30%, and the cleaning times are up to 80 minutes.
The suction is 22Kpa which is very powerful, easily to pick up the hair, dust and sand in a short time.
Many reasons can cause low refrigerant suction pressure, i.e.: low indoor temperature, dirty filters, restricted ducts, undersized ducts, closed dampers, frosted coils, restricted refrigerant line, restricted piston, incorrect piston, restricted strainer, bad indoor blower motor ect.
Electrolux and Frigidaire – push the reset button on the water dispenser and hold until you see the green light flash (this can take up to 15 seconds). GE and Hotpoint – press the Reset Water Filter button on the dispenser and hold for 3 seconds.
The average life expectancy of a mid-range vacuum cleaner is about six years. You can fix or replace things like blocked filters, jammed brush rolls, frayed hoses, worn-out stick vac batteries and broken accessories yourself.

Hi my dyson dc18 has great suction from wand but when you got to use the vac for floors little suction but wand still got suction even while vacuming floors is it suposed to stop suction from wand
ANSWER : My Dyson dc18 had the same symptoms. The wand worked well and the floor bar had no suction. After removing pieces & shoving my fingers into the machine (no blockage) I found the suction pipe rotates between two positions (floor and wand). It looks like a piece of plastic broke on the outside housing, so it no longer rotates positions when the wheels are raised or lowered. My son found we can move the suction by sliding a finger into the mechanism behind the wheel cover, and rotating the plastic piece clock-wise or counter clock-wise until it locks into position. It’s a big pain but it works for now. I wish I could find a replacement piece online. Patty

Base suction and tool suction both have stopped working
ANSWER : On the top of the water reservoir (under the handle that you use to lift it off) is a large dial. The top says “hose” and the bottom says “floor”. Turn it to where it says floor. If your brush is not working than you going to have to take it apart, if not mechanical incline, take picture and note and you will do fine, or take it to the repair shop and to have it done, it should be no more than 25-30 to get the belt replace. Belts tend to wear quickly depend on the carpet length due to friction cause turning the brush rubbing the floor. the brush may still spin but wont have a strong pick up spin due to worn belt. If the belt is spinning and the motor run strong, you going to still have to take it apart to see where is clogged. The Vac doesn’t have many parts, taking picture step by step and some note you probably can do it yourself.

No suction I am getting no suction on my central vac at the vac. I do not believe that the piping is plugged up, the vacuum is not creating suction. What are the causes of no suction at the vacuum and how do I take the top half of the Nutone central vac off?
ANSWER : Use the guide at builtinvacuum.com/flowchrt.html to find the issue and solution. Most likely you need to test it without any filter and be sure the bottom of the unit is attached 🙂 To get access to the motors you need to unbolt the very top sides.

Suction Cover The suction cover of my Eureka Deep Steam 2575A is broken – the tabs snapped off of the cover so I am unable to screw the suction cover back on. I need to purchase a new suction cover but can’t find one anywhere. Anyone know what I can do? thanks
Lost suction my DCO7 lost suction in the hose I started taking it apart and cleaning it and looking for clogs (probably more than I should have) and when I put it back together it has awesome suction in the hose but no suction in the base. It just pulls the pine needles up (christmas tree) but they never appear in the “bag” compartment and when I look they are just all gathered in a clump in the bottom by the brush.
ANSWER : Hi.
.
.Remove the sole plate turn the 3 plastic screws to unlock & lift off.
.
.Now remove the blockages that have accumilated from the oppening of short clear hose.
.Check you can turn brush roller & check belt.
.
.Now reassemble switch on pull handle back & look under machine is brush spinning ?
.
.If not check the knob on side of machine is in drive (D) position.

I fear the motor has failed on my Electrolux Oxygen EL6988D.
Just six months after the warranty expired, I was vacuuming when it suddenly stopped. There was no blockage in the tube and it wasn’t working hard or long . . . it just stopped.
I looked around the Internet and it appeared that many similar Electrolux units have a fuse. I hoped my problem might just be a blown fuse, so I took the machine apart.
There are two small printed circuit boards, but no fuse. There is an in-line
ANSWER : Hi,
.
.I don’t think you need a new motor, but please stop testing the machine with live power. It’s dangerous and unnecessary. Your tests indicate to me that the motor is fine and your thermal-fuse – I think this is what you referred to as “thermatrol” is blown. I assume you used an ohm-meter to test the continuity across the brushes? If so, and the reading was 0 ohms accross the brushes, then your motor is fine. Also, the 120v reading at the motor terminals with the power on shows that you are getting power to the motor. The reason there is no continuity at the motor terminals is because this circuit is routed through the “thermatrol”. If the thermatrol is open-circuit, i.e. blown there will be no continuity here.
.
.If you need parts, I can probably help you find a supplier, but let’s establish which parts need replacing first! Please confirm the resistance readings from the brushes and we’ll go from there, but no more live testing please, particularly the 120v A/C direct to the motor from the wall socket!
.
.Regards,
.BElectric

Poor Suction Heya! So I just picked up a used Dyson, but when I vacuum with it, the suction is pretty weak and it spits all kinds of stuff out the back and into my feet. When I pull the hose I have good suction, but in regular mode it hardly picks up anything. The brushes are spinning, and it eventually will clean an area if I go over it again and again. Maybe a clog somewhere? Please tell me that Dysons have better suction than my $50 Dirt Devil! Thanks!
ANSWER : I recently bought a second hand Dyson DC07. Its suction was poor. I removed all the un-clipable pipe bits and to remove any blockage but it all looked clear. The Final Sponge and hepper filter did have a lot of dust in it and the rotating brush was full of hair but nothing bad.
.
.I eventual gave in to curiosity and removed the three screws in the top or the yellow removable dust collection tube and cyclone bit to see what was in there. The mechanism to release the flap at the bottom of the collection tube does not allow you to remove the lid completely but it does open far enough to get inside. I found the whole top section of the yellow plastic bit blocked by a big plug of compacted dust and a champagne cork. If you are willing to take the risk and have a torx 15 screwdriver handy it that part may be blocked. It did get a bit messy.
.
.If I was going to attempt the same procedure I’d remove the dust collection unit from the vacuum cleaner as I did before, but leave the clear tube attached and the emptying flap firmly closed to reduce the mess from the dust falling out the bottom while cleaning the top part.

Electrolux Epic 2500 suction stopped – Electrolux Vacuums
ANSWER : It could be the switch or could be the suction motor. Also, there is a thermostat on the motor that will shut it off if you don’t have the air flowing to keep it cool. If that is the case, the motor will re-start after it cools down.
.If the motor dosen’t start, the cheepest way to start is to buy a new switch and install yourself. Just make sure where the wires go. The single terminal is to the front and the two terminals to the rear. The black wire goes to the front single terminal, the red wire goes to the far back terminal and the blue wire goes to the front back terminal. The suction motor should come on first and then the power nozzel. If not in that sequence,reverse the blue and red wires.
.If that fails, take it to the Aerus/Electrolux shop.
