To troubleshoot this issue, start by checking the belt on the cleaner. Make sure it has not become cracked or frayed. Also ensure the brushes are properly installed and not hampered by dirt or debris. If the belt looks intact and the brushes are secure, next check the belt tensioning wheel. It should be properly tightened, so if necessary, adjust accordingly. Lastly, some models use separate power sources to drive the brush roll and the suction motor, so make sure that both are working correctly.

Vax carpet shampooer keeps burning out belts!

Question edited for clarity.

No Gary
It's not the carpet. The brush bar bearing ends are clogged up with hair and stuff. The brush wasn't turning properly and burnt the belt out. You put another one in and because the brush bar was still clogged and not turning freely, it burned out the new belt. Turn the machine over and try to turn the brush bar with your fingers. It is tight isn't it? Remove it and clean it. It should spin freely. I do my Dyson every 6 months. Video in the link.

I have a hoover F5853-900 steam cleaner.Everytime i lift it up the brushes turn but when they are on the carpet they quit.I got told that this model does not have a belt.I really love this steam clean

The brushes are turned by a motor. No belt. It's possible the gears on the brushes have a flat spot on them which would stop them from turning under a load.

Hi my vax rapide ultra carpet cleaner seems to continually spray without operating the trigger and this makes extraction of the water/ solution difficult.Is this continoues spray normal?

No it should only spray when the trigger is pressed. After spraying you go over the area to suck the water out. The valve on the trigger is faulty. I found this

I had the same problem, after buying a new clean water tank the problem was still there. I decided to see how it works and discovered the little shut off valve that the trigger operates is sticking in the open position. I am now trying to find a new valve.
