My dirt devil has no main suction

The hose must be blocked. Push a broom handle down it.

Take the hose off where it goes in to the vacuum and see if there is something lodged in the opening where the hose fits in to.

Hello, Im assuming that your unit has no suction. If this is the case, it is still plugged. Run a stiff wire through all the hoses, starting at the on behind the bristle brush. Make sure all the bagless filters are completely cleaned.

If you have fixed the suction at the bottom, a new tight belt is important when vacuuming carpeted floors. Belts lose elasticity from being stretched which is why they need replaced frequently.

Hello! Below are general trouble shooting steps for your Dirt Devil vacuum to restore suction.

1. Check the hoses for clogs.
2. Clean and replace your filters if needed.
3. Check that your brushes are still spinning, if not, replace your belt with the recommended belt for your vacuum.

Hope this helps!

That means that your belt is worn, stretched or broken. You need to replace the belt. You can get replacement belts and view the manual:

there are 3 screws 2 on the left side behind the hose and 1 on the right back by the wheel.that will take the cover off.if you need to get into the bottom there is a screw on the bottom plate in the area where it looks like the belt travels.is the brush roller turning if not then your belt is probably broke.before you replace the belt clean off the motor shaft and get the old rubber off it otherwise the new belt won't last long.please leave feedback .be sure to clean your filter inside the dirt cup

The suction hole will never have wind coming out of it, it is for suction. To switch from floor to hose, turn the control knob labeled floor / hose.

Check the main filter cone - if it has a rip in it, then there won't be any suction in it, also clean it gently with a paint brush to get all of the dust out and check the back of the upright after the bin is taken out as sometimes there is dirt clogged at the back. Check the front of the sole plate i.e. where the roller brush is and check the dust channel behind this as it can get clogged. Due to the nature of this vacuum with the hose being located at the front of the floor head dirt can be trapped but most of all its the paper pleated cone filter that needs a good brushing. Hope that helps.

Check the dirt cup filter. remove the dirt cup and check for proper suction. if you have good suction, check your belt
