Kirby G4 without suction

StFlorian on Oct 15, 2008

" "

My G4 upright model has no suction when the main front piece is on. It works fine with the hose in place but not with the regular front.

- Thanks for your answer, the thing is, it has a brand new belt that was just put on. Maybe I'm not putting the front piece back on correctly? I don't think the inside hook is grasping the belt. I really have trouble fastening and unfastening this thing, my hands are not strong enough.

change your belt, if there is suction from the hose, and you cant see any blockages in the area where the brush roll is then you need to change the belt, even if it isnt broken. putting your hand over the nozzle to feel the suction is not the way to tell if it has suction.
