I found this info
Why is my vacuum losing suction?
A motor generates power which powers a vacuum which, in turn, creates suction to lift debris. The most common areas of suction loss are within the hose itself, the vacuum bag, clogged rollers, broken vacuum belt or a faulty gasket. All of these problems will lead directly to the vacuum cleaner losing suction.

It is the rubber belt that spins the brush. It must have worn out. Buy a new one.

hi.
distilled or de-ionised water is recommended in all steam generator units.

tap water can contain minerals and salts that will remain in the unit and fur the inside of the steam generator.

if you live in a soft water area where there are very few impurities in the water you should be ok to use the tap water.
if you are in a hard water area, do not use tap water.

the best way to work it out is look at the inside of your kettle.
if the inside is clean with no sign of scaling, the water should not scale your steam generator.
if there is any sign of scaling, do not use tapwater for your steam generator.

distilled or de-ionised water is recommended though

You should be able to get a screwdriver or tool under the ring to be able to get ahold of enough to pull it out. Check the suction (a suction gage helps) at the power unit and then at all inlet valves. It could be a leak or clog somewhere in there. You have to check all areas to try to narrow down the problem. Look for a loose hose, tube, valve, fitting etc. Check Vac pans closely if you have them.

Make sure cord is not damaged. Check to see nothing is blocking hose or carpet nozzle(where beater brush is or brush roll). Plug unit in to a receptacle that you know has power going to it. (Lamp you know works when plugged into same. Using hose on front, make sure bag bottom completely attached to exhaust, the hose has a little arm like thing that will depress the safety switch on the front of the unit, and turn on using foot switch at the back of the unit. If these do not work, it could be one of two safety switches, dirt may have fouled or switch may need to be replaced.

remove the screws from the funny looking thing on the back (about 10 philips head screws) and remove the blockage from the big hose. Don;t stop working on it until you are absolutely certain there is no blockage. You may need a long screw driver and maybe another smaller vacum to help get the stuff out. I have the same machine and had the same trouble.

If you want to prove or disprove blockage as the trouble, remove the handle and listen to the motor.

Hi
Its cutting out because its overheating.
Change the filters and check the base and the hose for blockages

I don't know where near you, but most local repair shops should have the belts for kirby.
