Vacuumed up an apron string and turned off the vacuum as it started to smoke--rubber I think. Took off the bottom four screws and checked -- one thin belt OK, 1 large belt on a large roller behind the brush--but just hanging there...wish I had an exploded view of what it should look like correctly put together--does that large belt need to go back around another wheel or around that metal post that sticks out behind the roller brush?
i need to get my vacuum replace that i bought on 12/21/2013 the brush wont turn both belts are in good shape i think its in between the two wheelsi need to get my vacuum replace that i bought on 12/21/2013 the brush wont turn both belts are in good shape i think its in between the two wheels

Yes, one end goes around the large wheel and the other end goes around the metal post. If the rubber band isn't set around the metal post correctly, it can slide off - and if it doesn't slide off completely it'll continue to turn and burn rubber as it's rotating off the big wheel. It can ruin the band obviously, but they're fairly inexpensive to replace.

That means that the belt is stretched and it is slipping on the motor shaft, that is why it is hot and smells like burning rubber. You need to replace the belt. Here is the correct belt you need:
Probably the belt..
Turn it over so the bottom is facing up..
Remove the plate that surounds the brush..
Check to se if brush is spinning frely and that the belt is on there poroper
how old is it ?maybe the motor went south.take the cover off and see if you see any burn marks ,maybe you can narrow down the burnig smell.i don't charge people for helping i just enjoy helping.314-628-9153
According to the manual on your machine, you can either have a broken belt, or the switches to the self-propel switch, and brush switch are in the off position. I have included a link to your manual. Please look at pages 13-14 under troubleshooting.
With this self propell series, the entire bottom needs to come apart to re-install the nut. if it is one month old I would highly recommend taking it in for warranty service. What plastic is melted?
Flip the vacuum cleaner over and check the roller brush. Is it full of string and hair? If so, unscrew the four phillips-head screws holding the plate on that covers the roller brush; pull out the brush, and cut off/clean off all the hair and string. Replace everything and try running the vacuum. Alternate solution: perhaps the belt that makes the brush go around is broken. If so, follow the above steps to remove the roller brush, then replace the belt.
