Hello,
I have a Eureka Boss
5890-5909 series upright. It is the model that does not have the
adjustable beater bar speed slide control on the handle. It is the
model that the first click of switch is for tile/hardwood floors and
the next click is for carpet which of course turns on the beater bar.
Well, it works great for hard floors and when switch is pushed for
carpet nothing happens as beater bar does not engage. I checked the
belt, hit the reset button (which wasn't tripped), and made sure there
is no blockage to prevent from it turning. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
Also the beater bar only works when the handle is in the operating position. Meaning the foot release must be depressed and the handle tilted back towards the user.
YOU MAY HAVE A POSSIBLE BAD BELT OR THE MOTOR THAT RUNS THE BAR MAY BE BAD, THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS THE SWITCH THAT TURNS ON THE BAR MAY BE BAD. OR A WIRE COULD HAVE COME OFF THE MOTOR. i THINK YOU DO KNOW THAT THE BEATER BAR DOES NOT RUN WHEN ON WOOD FLOORS.

suction works great but beater bar will not engage.
My motor was bad due to moisture even though it took a couple of months for the moisture damage to occur.
beater bar brush is not turning, no belts broken
It will run when it is off the floor
