Vacum is clogged

Your sweeper may have overheated. I don't know what brand you have but I hope you weren't trying to vacuum pine needles from the Christmas tree. Pine needles are sticky and will clog up any vacuum sweeper. Check your sweeper to make sure the tubes (hose & pipes that carry dirt) are clean and clear. I used to service Oreck vacuum sweepers.

hey, how are you ?

here are a ew things that could be causing you sorrow

1.) Check your vacume to ensure that it isnt clogged anywhere

2.) before your compressor and after the filer, this part is where the suction takes place, check to see that it isnt clogged or that it isnt broken...

3.) check your packing (diapharam) in the vacume oto see if it ruptured(has a hole or broken)

4.) Check for lears on the vacume, basically run a pice of paper all over it and see if it is pulled to the vacume.

Once air is coming out the back, it means the compressor is working, but it alos means that the vacume is clogged, or a compartment that is u\supposed to be sealed is broken, or it has a leak somewhere..

My bet is that it is clogged somewhere, take it apart you will find it..

If it scatters the dirt then it's definitely clogged up at the nozzle just behind the roller brush. Turn the sweeper upside down and stand it on the handle. Then look under the roller brush. I have two Oreck's in my house. You can take a screwdriver to loosen the clog and dump out the dirt. Don't try to pick up pine needles as these are sticky and will quickly clog up any vacuum sweeper.

The hose is clogged up. Try disconnecting the hose and loosen the clog. If you try to pick up pine needles, they are sticky and will clog up any vacuum sweeper.

Turn it on. Detatch the cleaning tools handle from it's mount. If it still has no suction, you have a plugged hose. Everything your vacuum does goes through that long hose. Take the 2 screws off where it attacvhes to the unit, then gently push a broom handle through it to release/loosen the clog. You should be able to see through the hose from end to end. Toys, tissue and pine needles are big culprets of clogged hoses.

This is an indication that there's a blockage in the airflow system. Check the hose, power head tube, and behind tank filter for clogs. For the hose and PN, you can detach the hose and drop a coin in one end. If it doesn't roll out, there's a blockage and it needs cleared. Try using a broom stick to push the clog out from the tank end. Or place PN end of hose to the tank in port and turn on vacuum. This should clear the hose.
For the PN, drop a coin into the hose connection. If it doesn't drop through, there's a clog in the PN tube, probably at either the elbow or behind the brush. You may be able to clear it using longnose pliers to pull needles out from the hose end, or try pushing out with a long, dull object. A wooden spoon or spatula handle will work fine.

Make sure you have suction at the end of the hose. If not, the clog is most likely in the hose. Detach hose from vacuum and wand. Drop a coin into one end and allow it to fall through. If it doesn't drop out, the clog is definitely in the hose. Then visually check the wands for a clog
Disassembling the power nozzle is not necessary, or recommended. First, ensure the clog is in the power nozzle. Drop a coin in the wand end and see if it falls out. If not, the clog is elsewhere. You should be able to clear the power nozzle by disconnecting the wand. Use the handle of a table knife to try to push the clog back through the power nozzle, toward the brush. If that doesn't work, try using long nosed pliers to clear the clog.

it is probably clogged near where the floor part picks up
that is why the wand still works

You may have the ductwork of the cleaner plugged up with the pine needles. First, unplug the hose from the cleaner and find if you have suction into the bag. If so, check the hose and ducts for blockage from the pine needles.

You can use a Tornado Cloth to clean out your central vacuum piping. Its the simplest and most cost-effective maintenance routine you can do.
