NO SUCTION My Electrolux Z2274 upright vacuum cleaner has lost it's suction and is very noisy. Have checked and rechecked there is no blockage. Have cleaned the filters. In fact done everything I can think of. Any one know why and how to fix this??

first, if it has a hose check for being plugged, you may have to take the vacuum apart further till you reach the fan on motor which may have hair,lint,etc wrapped around it which can cause low suction.
Checking for Blockages in Your Vax Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is in the fully upright position as there is a slide 'gate' thet directs suction to either the vacuum head or to the handle section depending as to which section you wish to use. In the upright position, you shoud be able to hear the vacuum at the handle where the attachments connect. If you still have vacuum at floor level, check the action of this gate. The actuating mechanism may be broken. Cheers Bob

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

If you are experience less or no suction of you vacuum, most of the time there is a blockage that clogs up your unit resulting to this. Turn off your vacuum first and unplug the machine from the power before doing any troubleshooting with your vacuum. Remove the attachment hose and check inside the hose and the openings where the hose attaches for any blockages. You may refer to your manual below for troubleshooting solutions:

No solution but we seem to have the same problem it is as if the valve isn't working. Please don't tell me to check for blockages.

sounds like there is blockage in the suction hose -- lay the machine down and remove the lower floor plate and clean out the hose area where it bends down to the floor unit ( use a wire coat hanger to fish out the blockage ). also check the main hose for any obstructions.

Hi there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au here.
There are a couple of common reasons that your electrolux vacuum cleaner would appear to have lost it's suction. The first and most common is that it has actually broken a belt. If the belt is broken the brushes won't spin and it will not pick up dirt. It is easy to test simply turn the vacuum on, release the handle (as if you were about to vacuum carpet) and lift up the head and see if the brushes are spinning. If not i can supply you with a new belt.
If the brushes are spinning then your next most likely cause is that there is a blockage in the vacuum somewhere. Test this by turning machine on and checking the suction at the hose (as if your were going to vacuum the couch) if it is poor then remove hose and fish out blockage. If it is ok you may have a blockage between hose and the brush of the vacuum.
If it is neither of these problems i can trouble shoot over the phone if you live in Australia 0269215200 or by email [email protected]
Happy Vacuuming.. :)

vax power pet 1 filter keeps getting clogged up so dirt not going into cylinder

clean all the filters if this doesn't help then check for blockages at head, hose and entrance to collection chamber

The symptoms you describe are typical of a vac that has a blockage (hence poor suction). It cuts out because it's over-heating. You need to check the hose, the filters and anywhere else where something may have got stuck. Blockages are often caused by things like paper clips, but can be caused by something as apparently harmless as a piece of paper which gets stuck and then debris builds up behind it and causes a log-jam.
