The green light is an indicator that your brush is rolling smoothly. If it starts to flicker and you smell something that smells like rubber burning you need to do a couple things; one is remove the roller and clean off all of the hair, string, etc. Next you want to replace your belt. Just because the roller isn't turning doesn't mean the motor and the belt aren't either. If your roller gets jammed your belt will continue to spin and it will eventually wear down in one spot and break. Replace the belt, clean the roller and your should be fine.

Your belt is burning and will eventually wear down and break. The green light comes from copper brushes on your roller creating an electrical current that lights the little green light. As long as the roller is turning, the light will stay on. There may be something jamming the roller (hair, string, paper, etc). Clean the roller off and replace your belt. If you don't replace the belt it will break soon enough. Once you start smelling the "rubber burning" smell it's and indication that your belt has deteriorated at some point and has a weak spot in it. Clean the roller and replace the belt and it should be fine.

that means its working properly. If you have no suction then it is usually the belt and or the bag. so make sure your bag is not full , make sure everything is attatched properly and the green light is on.... The Kirby is the best vac out there and little suction should never be a issue for us.. I am a proud owner of the sentria..Love it..

something is blocking the way of air, like a piece of paper being sucked up into the tube.try to remove it, and it will be fixed

you will need a new cam bracket, contact your local kirby agent

see if power into cabe use volt meter

this video should help you

More than likely you have a short in your power cord. however if you want to know for sure take machine apart until you can put an elec meter on switch where cord is attached. plug machine in and test the end of cord that is attached to switch if you have 120volts at that point its your switch thats bad. if you have no voltage or anything less than 110volts at the switch replace cord

maplins have 240 volt to 120 volt converters about 20.00

drive has been knocked out off position, will need machine service should cost 39.95 should not need any parts though

take head off machine, look in round hole at back of head pick up the belt with the lifter to the 12 o'clock position first the refit head onto the machine, then release belt lifter to the square position

see utube for fitting

dirt build up on rug plate, or copy belt on m/c

common fault when customers do their own repairs, the handle pivot assembly is not sitting in the yoke assembly

sounds to me like the peoblem is with the brushbar,try taking the brushbar out then trying it again if it's ok i would sujest the bearings on the end of brush are bad and need replacing..
