The handle for my Eureka 5893 AVZ was getting very hot. Finally, the wires around the switch melted and the vacuum will not work. What is wrong? Is the switch bad? Nothing else appears to be wrong.
usually if a connection gets hot enough to start melting it is usually a loose connection or high current. more than likely the switch is bad if you replace it with the same type of switch and it gets hot check the motor. make sure it is clean and isn't jammed

Okay, what happened is I was vacuuming one day and something must have been sucked into the vacuum that did not belong. I proceeded to turn it off and remove the obstruction. I found nothing out of the ordinary so I reassembled it and turned it back on. This time I smelled something burning so I turned it off again quickly and opened it back up to see what the problem was. I still saw nothing out of the ordinary. Now the brushroller will not work at all. The vacuum still has sucking power. In fact everything else works but the roller. I have taken it out and cleaned it thoroughly and I checked the belt which still seems to be in perfect condition. The motor for the brushroller seems to be the problem. I have no clue on how to go about fixing it. When I put the vacuum in Carpet mode it seems that the motor for the roller just ignores it. And for whatever reason I can't find a website that can tell me about how much another motor would cost. If I can avoid spending any extra money that would be fantastic. I am just stuck in this situation and if anyone can offer any advice at all I would greatly appreciate it.
