How to replace the brush on my rug doctor

You could try wearing the cleaner like a backpack...

I live in a small town and there are at least two businesses here where I could buy vacuum cleaner hose by the metre.
I have also seen purpose-made 1 metre hose extensions.

It isn't always easy but I have repaired and replaced hoses, changed ends and generally managed to use surplus and discarded hoses rather than buy new.

I suggest you approach the sort of business that supplies vacuum cleaners and washers and suchlike to other businesses rather than a high street type shop.

Good luck!

Hey there! The brushes can be removed for cleaning. With the handle in the upright position, tilt the cleaner back so that handle rests on floor. Grab brush assembly and pull firmly. Remove hair and debris from brushes. You may clean the brushes under running water. If for some reason you are not able to clean the brushes, replacement brushes can be ordered by following the link below.

Possible that you did not get the belt on properly and came off right away.

it can be belt or clutch failed. put the vac on its side and on the bottom there will be either two push clips or 2 screws remove them or push them and pull the bottom off. then when this is off you will see were the belt is for the spinning brush. if the belt is still on then the clutch has gone in the motor if the belt has gone take out the broken part and get a new belt, fitting new belt you need to remove the spinning brush it is either clipped in or slotted in , clipped is push the clips out to the side and lift the brush out, slotted it will just pull out. clean out the brush before putting back in also check the brushes bearing to make sure it moves easy as a failed bearing do to carpet string etc can burn the belt, any belt that has been burnt in this way should be removed and changed as it will damage the hover if still used after this part has been cleaned replace all parts and then turn on dont and it pluged in mains while you are doing this and dont use until it has all been fitted back..

I had to use pliars to change the level. I only used that vac three times and I got rid of it. It cut off on me and never restarted. Sorry!!

The reset button is on the top or back of the machine.

Hi Ed,

You should also clean the contacts points that touch the plates with the amonia and water solution. Use a brush and to remove any deposits on those contacts. Also the purification plates will not work if they are still damp when they are put into the machine. They must be completely dry in order to work. Use a hair dryer to dry off any water on the metal grid or allow them to dry for 24 hours. Hopefully that should get your plates going again.

In regards to when you should replace the plates. As long has the plate material is not cracked and you can clean the metal grids to a shine they should be good. But they should be able to last several years with good maintenance.

The RCI cells should be replaced every 3 years or when the machine displays "Replace RCI" message.

Hope this helps you.

Strictly speaking, you would need to run culture tests in a sealed laboratory to conduct such a test. There is actually no way for the layman to verify that microorganisms are being killed by this device. Either you believe the company's claims, or you don't.

The internal high-voltage grid wires are connected to a switch which is maintained in the closed position by the tension on the wire.

This red light comes on when the tension in the high-voltage grid wires relaxes or one of the wires breaks thus opening the switch.

There is no good remedy for this -- I have repaired a half dozen of these units by replacing the grid wires with titanium wire. This is a very time-consuming, complicated, nerve-wracking repair -- not recommended.

Like you I went through the hard-core cleaning pocess, but found it usually makes no difference or very little.

You could try E-Bay for a replacement or shop for a more rugged ozone-generating air purifier -- I'm looking for one myself.
