If your motor got too hot there is a motorguard switch on there and it has to cool down before it will come back on.check under the vacuum and see if you can turn the brush roller by hand,unplug first.if it turns real freely then the belt is broke.if you can't turn it at all then the brush roller is either jammed or the bearings on the brush roller are froze up.and if thats the case, that will cause your motor to overheat and shut down.if the brush roller and belt are ok then the brushes on the motor might be going bad.call me if you need more info.314-628-9153

I was vacuuming turned off won' come back on

Well, Is it a canister vacuum or does it use bags?
Did it turn the circuit breaker off?
If so, reset circuit breaker and try to turn it back on.

Won't turn off

It's highly probable that the Dyson power switch has gone bad.
You can buy dyson dc14 switch here.
The switch is located right behind the front covering of the neck or handle when you remove the telescopic wand. Please make sure that the vacuum is unplugged before you start this project.

Vacuum won't turn on

Be sure to that the latches are connected to the water pan. The eSERIES and up will not turn on without the water pan latched. If that is not the issue, please call us and speak to a Rainbow Specialist.

My Miele S3141 canister began acting strange this morning. No suction...so I took off the hose and checked for blockage, (nothing). Now I can't get the hose back on the canister. It just slips ar

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
Air filter:
If the vacuum cleaner won't pick up dirt and has no suction the air filter might be clogged. Remove the filter and either clean or replace it as needed.
Exhaust Filter If the vacuum cleaner won't pick up and has no suction the exhaust filter might be clogged. Remove and clean the filter, replace it if its torn or damaged.


Vacuum Hose If the vacuum cleaner won't pick up and has no suction the vacuum hose might be clogged. Remove the hose from the vacuum cleaner, stretch it out straight, shine a bright flashlight in one end and try to see light through it. If no light can be seen, use something to run through the hose and free up the obstruction.
Vacuum Bag If the vacuum cleaner won't pick up and has no suction the vacuum bag might be full. Clean or replace the bag as recommended by the manufacturer.

Dust Cup AssemblyIf the vacuum cleaner won't pick up and has no suction the dust cup assembly might not be installed tightly, or it might be cracked or broken. The dust cup must seal tightly in order to produce the right amount of suction. If it is cracked or broken, replace it. Most glues and adhesives will not successfully seal the crack.
Blower Wheel If the vacuum cleaner won't pick up and there is no suction, the blower wheel might be jammed or broken. Check the blower wheel to be certain it turns freely. If it doesn't, check to see if there is anything rubbing against it. If not, but it's hard to turn, the motor is most likely the problem.

Motor runs, brush won't turn, burning rubber smell

Easy to fix. The burning rubber smell is hair in the roller against the belt! Congrats, you have a healthy vacuum, you are lucky! Unplug the vacuum, remove the screws that cover the belt and roller brush. If you are nervous, take pictures with a cell phone or digital camera as you go for re-assembly. ok, pull the long roller out of it's slot and out of the vacuum. cut all hair off the roller and carefully move the belt from side to side to do the same. If the belt slips off, it slips back on easily. If the area is too tight for fingers guide it back on with any long thin wooden object. You can squeeze the belt to narrow it and slide it back over the thin metal rod that spins it from the motor. Slide the roller through the belt and back into it's slots. If it won't slide back on, turn it a quarter turn. Repeat till it does slide back into place. Put the face plate back on-tighten screws, flip it over, plug itr in and it should work!

The vacuum stopped running while vacuuming, won't turn back on. Have only had 2 months.

Take it to the local vacuum repair shop. The work cheaply most of the time and know exactly what is wrong. May do it while you wait. Most towns have at least one or two good shops. something like that is just too difficult to diagnose on fixya.

I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure
Not knowing the model number – or if it is a canister or upright --- you may have a defective switch and would need to replace it – check with you local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages or call the Hoover Co for further assistance
