My Fantom has suction from the wand but not below. I can't find a clog anywhere and have cleaned all filters. Any ideas?

My Fantom Thunder was working great until the belt broke. I replaced the belt, but now I have no suction from the bottom or hose and no swirling in the bin. I have checked for clogs but I couldn't find any. Is there maybe a hidden place that might be clogged? I checked the filter, its fine. Removed the hose, nothing there. Turned the little knobs at the back. Cleaned off the brush. Checked the hole next behind the brush to make sure there was nothing in there. I am at a loss of what to do next. I can't really afford a new vacuum, so any advice on how to get this one to have suction again would be GREAT!

Most "no suction" problems are caused by blockages in the hoses, floor tools and dirty filters. Firstly remove hose from where it attaches onto the vacuum cleaner. Put your hand over the suction hole and feel for suction. If no suction remove the brush from the floor tool and check the intake. If you have removed covers, ensure that the motor seals go back in place or you will lose all suction.
