My husband took it apart today and the impellers were gunked up with black stuff.
he used these pictures that someone else generously posted. ours was slightly different in internal design, but they are helpful regardless.
here is an exploded diagram of the 5903, 04, etc. it will help you see if any parts are missing or broken.

it's working fine now. sucks much better too. what a difference!
guess for the $179 these things avg, they just need annual maintenance. I wouldn't pay someone to do it though.
i forgot the link to the dismantle pics:

Take apart the housing for the spin brushes, my husband fixed mine yesterday, there is no belt, on mine the gears that are powered by air had slipped, reconnect them and you should be good to go.
If your brushes don't spin check to see if the belt for the brushes is still in good shape it sounds like it might be broken

Worked yesterday, but not today. Called customer service and they simply referred me to a local service center.
My brushes do not spin but everything looks good. Do you know the problem?
How do you find the belt? Is there a breakdown of this unit so I can see how to take it apart?
I am about ready to go buy a new one, but if I can fix this one...
my son noticed the brushes aren't spinning at all. husband took them off, we cleaned the sensor screen, can't locate the problem.
ours was purchased in 07 so out of wtty. does anyone have a schematic or repair manual to show how to dismantle it?
it worked great when new, but i won't buy another one! the brushes are SPOTLESS, so it tells me they haven't spinned in a long time.
My brushes don't spin. I check the filter and cleaned it as asked. Still don't spin. Is there a belt to check, or is there a turbine? I need a diagram for dismantling. I started, but it was getting rather complicated and my memory is not that good any more.
