Where are the brushes as need replaced? - Vacuums

Hi! If your unit is noisy while the brushes are spinning this can mean that your brushes are worn or damaged. Try removing the brushes by pushing the two brush release buttons at the same time. Turn the cleaner on and see if the noise persists. If the noise stops with the brushes removed, you will need to replace your brushes. I have included a link below where you may go to purchase a replacement brush roll if needed. Hope this helps!

You need to replace the brush block assembly

Hi! If you've replaced the turbine & gear assembly and the brushes are still not spinning, a replacement brush-block assembly may be needed. The brushes counter rotate and need each other to spin. If a single brush is falling out, the brush assembly is broken. If the whole brush assembly keeps falling out, the drive pin shaft may be damaged. To order a replacement brush-block follow the link below.

The "horrible noise" you were hearing before wasn't the clutch! It was the roller brush. If the brush is not turning, all you are doing is burning out your new clutch. Reasons for the brush not turning: there is hair, carpet fiber or other matter wrapped around the brush that needs to be removed. Remove the roller brush, inspect it, and remove anything that could interfer with it's functioning. Reinstall and give it a test.

But in my experience, the brush needs to be replaced. Remove the brush and look for cracks in the plastic, If you see any, it needs replacing. eBay, via a distributor from England, is your best bet as far replacing the brush. Be careful of non-original brushes as they will break easily and are not of the same quality as the originals. Try searching for "DC14 brushroll" and then go down to the International Sellers at the bottom of the page.

Do not continue using the vac until you have solved the problem. You will only have to replace the clutch again.

Buy the brush over the web etc..
