Keeps shutting off

Take the air canisters out and clean them. Mine were totally clogged by pet hair. Open the canisters, twist the rotators counterclockwise and pull out. Easy to clean and put back in. You will be amazed! Try to also wash the foam filter out.

Vacuum shuts down after a short time and needs to cool off before being restarted.

Could be the protector, it usually is located by the motor. But I am sure that this has a 1 year warranty on it, so if it is less then that, take it in for warranty service. But it also could be that you have a clogged filter, hose is clogged, or the dirt inlet by the brush roll is clogged. A clog will cause the motor to overheat and shut down until it is cleared.

Canister

The filters are not clean on both sides. Check the main filter at the top and the internal filters for each side, clear and brush cleanly and gently to remove all clogged dirt as well as checking the hose and inspection airways i.e. when the bin is taken off check the holes behind it and behind the beater bar for any clogging material.

Dirt Devil Reaction Vacuum belt replacement

The manual is confusing - I had the same problem. Make sure you put the belt around the smaller motor axle, not the lever arm attached to the on/off foot switch. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but that was my problem with this. Jeff

When the vaccum is running the motor gets hot & smells & is very noisy.

Sounds like yu may have a clog, either in the inlet by the brush roll, or the hose. If the hose comes loose, see if there is suction there. If no suction then it is clogged. If suction, then the inlet maybe clogged.

I took my dirt devil power max/pet apart to clean.. now I can't remember how the adjustment wheels go back in ?

The best way to do this is by studying the parts diagram https://www.google.com/search?q=dirt+devil+power+max+pet+parts+diagram Or just carry it into the closest Dirt Devil Service Centre and ask them to 'service it'. It is not expensive. There are no videos showing how this is done, but the video made me smile

Dirt Devil model 103 hand held vacuum. Can you wash the bag for it in the washer.

Yes as long as you don't mind your next 3 washes of clothes to have fine dust washed into them. Just buy a new outer bag for $10 or hand wash it. https://www.evacuumbags.com/dirt-devil-plus-503-103-outer-vacuum-bag.aspx You ARE using the disposable paper bags with it?? https://www.google.com/search?q=dirt+devil+model+103+bags ..

When charging my Dirt Devil I'm getting flashing green & blue lights.

You don't supply a model number and they make quite a few! Here are all the manuals. That sounds normal to me, Green for fully charged and ready to use, Blue to say it is trickle charging. https://dirtdevil.com/pages/instructional-manuals ..

Dirt Devil stick vacuum model 083700. How do you use the attachments? Manual is not available online

That is very strange, the parts suppliers list it, but Dirt Devil have no reference. I would contact Dirt Devil and ask why? There is a model M82700 but it is a cylinder vac. The contact details are there on page one. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/229112/Dirt-Devil-M082700.html Here is a list on all the Stick Vac model manuals https://dirtdevil.com/pages/instructional-manuals This is the vacuum with all its attachments and it looks like you just remove the head and insert the hose or the tools https://www.johnnyvac.com/en/rp-upright-vacuums/dirt-devil-power-stick-vac-m083700 ..

Dirt Devil Featherlight vacuum with bag--wheel is loose/falls off because screw doesn't tighten/grip enough. Help!

All the parts are here, but the wheel and screws are obsolete. So if the screw holds the wheel and then loosens up, remove the screw, clean the threads and apply Red Loctite. It will stop the screw from loosening. If that doesn't work, get some Liquid Metal, mix it and press it into the hole, grease the threads WELL, and screw the screw in. Properly greased, you should be able to remove the screws if you need to. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/dirt-devil-085590-featherlite-upright-vacuum-parts-c-36976_37103_129641.html ..

Dirt devil power stick lite edge to edge

See picture for details. It is unnecessary to remove the roller brush to clean it. The picture will show you how to do but not all vacuum cleaners will have a line where to cut. In this case, you can still use a utility knife just be more cautious where your cutting and not too deep. Make your cuts on both sides of the roller. 10_31_2021_7_39_47_am.jpegIf you still need to pullout the roller brush, don’t worry too much about pulling it out strait. Pull one end slightly, do the other end in the same way until it comes out.

I have a dirt devil featherlite bagged vacuum that is not picking up? I checked the belt and the brush and they are both moving, but not picking up dirt?

If the belt is over a year old replace it. Belts lose elasticity and will still spin but not clean the carpet.
