The belt on my Kirby G3 wore out, and I bought replacement belts from two different sources--one an official Kirby supplier and one a store brand. Neither belt is long enough to catch the belt lifter when it is rotated and to reach the drive shaft.

Belt may be slipping or wore out. Are you running the brush too low to the carpet. That will prevent it to work.also you have to take the cap off the container when sucking the water up.
Below we explain how you can replace a vacuum cleaner belt on the Kirby Generation upright vacuum cleaner. All you will need to perform this repair is a new Kirby Generation Upright Belt, and some time. No tools are needed to perform this repair. This repair is the same for all Kirby Generation models including: G3, G4, G5, G6, Ultimate G, Kirby Diamond Edition, and the Kirby Sentria. The repair procedures have to be followed exactly in order for the vacuum to work properly. This should be done at least once a year even if the belt doesn't break, because these belts will stretch out over that year time period and will not work as well as a new belt would.
