More information needed. When you turn on the vacuum do you hear the motor running? Is the problem that there is no suction at the head? Is there suction at the canister when the hose is removed? I would first check to make sure that there is no obstruction in the hose. Have you checked the filters to see if they are clean?

Could be a bad switch or a bad cord would be the first things to check.

SOURCE: red light comes on Filter Queen Majestic

Does it do this with the hose off? If it only does it when the hose is hooked up to it, then you have a clog in the hose.

Is there a Johnstone Supply in your area? How about an ACE Hardware. A vacum repair place? Sewing machine repair place?

If you have the data, ACE or Johnstone should be able to help you. Don't discount other electrical supply places. You will not get help at a big box place.

When I Googled "Filter Queen parts", I found lots of places on the WWW. There must be something close to you.

Give it a try. Let me know if this works for you.

SOURCE: how to change upper filters?

Open the vac as though to change the cone and remove the plastic inner cone with the slotted screw at the bottom.. Underneath you will find a 5" disk , likely coated with fine dust.
That is the one which needs to be changed. Around that disc will be three more screws holding the upper housing onto the vac. These ones are accessible from inside, if changing the motor.
Below the handle of the vac there is a serial number ring and three screws in an offset triangle. If you remove these and the rubber cover for the toe switch, the vac housing will come off. This will reveal the `foam or cotton ``muffler``. You can replace it or wash and dry it if foam. It acts as a muffler more than a a filter....

Filter queen majestic power head not working, main vacuum working but no power in head when plugged in. any suggestions as to what may be the cause for this to happen.

Is there power at the head, have you checked with a volt meter, most likely if not then the cord to the head is defective.

There is no power to my Filter Queen power nozzle. I have cleaned the connection and there is still nothing.

There is an electrical connection at the canister end and again at the beater end. If the beater is not working it is mostly that this is where you problem is. You need to test first to see if there is power at the canister end and then at the beater end. If there is no power at the canister it could be the outlet or something internal. If there is no power at the beater end then that outlet, or the cord could be the problem. If you have power and that end then the problem is likely within the wiring in the beater or in the motor itself

What if my filter queen carpet attachment does not turn on

Probably the plug in connector between the hose and wand or wand and head... check them for obvious arcing or looseness, visually or by wiggling the connection. If you find the faulty connection, you may find the cord with faulty end on ebay or verizon. If the cord is incorporated in the hose or the wand, you may also nd them on the same two sources... Filter Queen will charge you too much...

My filter queen majestic quit working. I opened up the unit to see what was wrong and I did not immediately notice anything wrong. Upon furter examination I noticed one of the traces on the printed circuit...

I recommend replacing the card. Soldering involves the risk of further damaging the card, so it would be useless anyway. Why waste valuable time?
There is a possibility of the motor overheating, generally due to a blockage in the airflow system somewhere. Check all filters, hose, wands, and power nozzle for dirt and/or clogs.
Check wiring connections, including hose to wands to power nozzle. Check all switches.
It sounds like you know how to do this, but if you have any questions, repost.

Getting power to attatchment?

There has been a recall on the hose, wand, and power nozzle. Mine just caught fire! Burned a whole in my carpet. I'd contact their customer service department and find out if yours is on the recall list.

There is power but the motor seems to not turn, therefore, there is no movement via the rollers. please help

The belt which turns the roller brush is probably worn and therefore not turning the roller brush. You can get a replacement here:

Filter Queen Powerhead Not Working

is it the part where the hose connects to the wand or is where the wand connects to the power head? and what side keeps falling out. it sounds to me that its either a hose or a wand issue. unfortunatly the cord itself cannot be replaced and if the problem is a worn out connector in the hose which is possible it would require a replacement hose and if it is on the wand end it would require a new wand. either are fairly cheep on ebay. or you can possibly find one used at a local vacuum dealer. dont buy new. save yourself some money if possible.

Sparks and smoke

you either have something worn out or the motor inside is going bad. Sounds like the motor in the power head is going bad. Disconnect the the wand from the power head and flip over the head take the plate off. then take the plastic cover off uou should get to the motor then. look at all the parts. I would think you need to replace the brush roll, belt and motor. But this is just a guess
