I have taken my bagless dirt devil turbo apart many times, and have thoroughly cleaned it , but it still doesn't want to pick up dirt on carpet. Drops back at least half of what it picks up

Your Dirt Devil may be in need of replacement. The failure to pick up dirt after having been cleaned thoroughly is one indication.

The Dirt Devil Featherlite vacuum cleaner throws up the dirt back out. Sometimes the vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up any dirt

You have a blocked vacuum hose take hose off and out side. Push the garden hose from one end to the other, this will push out the blockage

Vacuum doesn't pick-up dirt

It's probably not picking up because the belt is worn and stretched. With a new belt it will pick up a lot better. Here is the belts you need:

If there no blockages in the hoses, then the next thing to check would be any filters in the vacuum. When these get clogged, you will experience this problem.

Hi, I have a Hyla GST with a NST power head. The beater bar seized up today and I can't get it working again. It won't turn if I manually try to turn it either. There is nothing stuck in it as far as I can tell. How can I fix this? Thanks, Kris

power head turned off when wires got caught in it. Canister on/off switch still works but power head does not after removed the wires. How can I switch the power head back on? I was vacuuming my rug and some wires got wound around the power head and it automatically switched itself off, but the canister did not and is still fine. I tried pressing the little red button on the poser head but got no response. Anita.
