SOURCE: belt change for eureka capture

Lie the vacuum down so it's completely flat, the back of it facing up. On the bottom of it, on the grey plastic, there are instructions. They say, to access the belt, remove the screws numbered 1, 2, 3 & 4. Then look at the four corners of the bottom of the vacuum and you'll see these numbers. You may need a flashlight to actually see the screws because a couple of them are pretty deep inside the plastic. Loosen them with a long shafted, Phillips screwdriver. Stand the vacuum back up and the screws should just fall out. Then you can easily pop off the cover to change the belt.

SOURCE: Why does the Eureka capture plus pet lovers put

I would check your fan and see if any of the blades have been fractured. I had this happen recently when my vacuum caught a screw and the sound and vibration was deafening.

SOURCE: We have a Eureka Capture. The power is on, but

It is possible that you need to clean the filters. I was shocked when I cleaned mine - did you know the foam one is yellow? :o) I just beat it against the outside wall and then patted it with my hand to get most of it out since I didn't have time to wash it and let it dry.

Manual says that if you use floor powders, these need to be maintained more often.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I have a question, I just got my vacuum 3 mouths ago and it shuts-off?

Your new filter should last more than a week but you may have to clean it thoroughly after each use. One problem with vacuums that do not have a bag is the surface area of the filter is usually not very big so it does not take much fine dust to clog the pores of the filter. If air can't pass through the filter the motor will get hot and shut off.

Since I replaced the bag in my Eureka Rally 2 (this was the first time) the suction has not been working well. Could you please tell me what I could have done incorrectly. Thankyou

The dust bag holder is an important part of this vacuum. Make sure the bag is installed into the holder sliding bag collar into slots to secure.
Make sure the bag is tucked into cleaner. or the bag cover will not latch securely.
Also, the motor and exhaust filters should be cleaned at each bag replacement.
REPLACING THE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned or replaced when they become visibly soiled or suction power is reduced. Always operate the cleaner with the filters installed to avoid motor damage. The dust bag must be changed and the filters cleaned or replaced if the window of the Clean Filter Indicator changes into red when the cleaner is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor.

Subject: Eureka Tru Hepa Wirlwind Amps Model 4383. Working fine then just stopped. Later worked fine again? What is/was the problem? Does it need a new filter?? also has the # 0108017529 on machine

I'm not sure all machines are the same, but many have thermal overloads on the motor that can only be reset upon cooling, so wait 30 minutes and try again.
Secondly, my vac has 3 filters, one in the dust tray that you empty, one under where that dust collector installs and the HEPA filter on the back.
Ensure that all three are cleaned.

Why does the Eureka capture plus pet lovers put off a loud tornado siren sound when you turn it on. I cleaned the filters checked everything and it sounds like a tornado siren in the south. Email...

The belt is probably worn, stretched or broken that is why it is not picking up. Here is a link to the owners manual which has instructions and a link to the belt you need.
