My roller brush won't turn. I took off the top to check it out, I have a new belt, and when I manually pull the belt it does turn the brush, but otherwise it won't turn, seems very stiff. The machine has excellent suction.
-   I ran over a dog toy with the vacuum. The suction is good on it. I noticed the roller brush is not spinning anymore. What do I need to check to fix this problem?-   Guest

-   roller brush does not turn suction seems normal i thought it might be a belt problem but i didnt see a belt when i took top off i have model 31912100-   Guest
Check the brush roll ends, make sure they turn freely, if not then replace it. The belt may look ok, but they stretch after a short time and should be replaced.

on my Kenmore Progressive Dircect Drive upright bagged vacuum, one day the motor was working hard, and the thermal overload switch must have triggered.

I'm not sure if it is a worn belt or a worn agitator as mentioned in the instruction book but I'm hoping it's a belt that I can change myself. Can anyone tell me how to access the belt and how to replace it? I don't see what to open to reach the area. Thanks! Eileen
