Power spen brushes move very slow or stop - Vacuums

If you turn vacuum on with switch and they start working your switch is ok
If your vacuum is working and motor stops after some time you have problems with motor not the switch
If you turn vacuum on and if’s working but after putting him on the carpet brush roller slow down or stop turning you have problem with stretched belt

Your question certainly would be easier to answer with more details. If by "stopped working" you mean the beater brush doesn't turn, check for hair and debris buildup or a bad electrical connection in the electrical plug between the main down tube and power head.. If by "stopped working" you mean the fan in the top unit is moving air and the beater brush is turning, but little or nothing is getting picked up, take the power head off of the main tube. move the elbow joint so that the corrugated hose is straight. Use a straightened coat hanger wire or 1/4" wooden dowel to push through the corrugated hose. If there is a blockage, clear it out and the vacuum will begin picking up dirt again.

My wife has the same issue. A lot of vacuums have very small motors. These can't be buried into the carpet. The brushed are mentioned to skim the tops of the carpet . Try readjusting the carpet hight on the brush head.

There should be a red insert on the right-hand side on the cylindrical bulge behind the brush cylinder. Check that this is moving when you push the button. The red insert should stay pushed in for the brush to rotate. The insert moves in an out as well as rotates in order to lock in the 'in' position. Mine is a little sticky on the rotation and I need to shake the brush head a little in order to get it to rotate and lock.

One thing you might want to try is to see if the brush itself is binding up at the ends. When dirt gets in the end pieces and makes the brush difficult to spin, it will slow down, add to that the contact with the carpet and it may slow down even more. Give the brush and axle a good cleaning to see if it works better. Add a bit of WD40 to the ends of the brush axle.

Have you tried changing he belt ?. Some time the belts stretch out and they don't turn the brushes

The problem is in the Roomba itself. It can't be fixed-- time to call support.

there is a part inside called the turbine which needs to be replaced or cleaned. Also clean the brushes.
