Kirby g6 My kirby is running louder than usual. Kind of like its screaming instead of running now. Its working fine, but the noise is really unbearable. What could it be?

Check the cords two wires with an OHM meter for continuity replace if you get a reading showing OL The ground wire you can forget about this test
If any sort of numbers appear in the meters display the cord is good
Replace the switch instead

Greetings,

Here's an easy to understand and follow video review on how to attach the carpet shampooer to the Kirby Generation 6 (G6). The model that's being used in this video is a little newer model, the Sentria, but the procedure to attach the carpet cleaning attachment is the same exact repair on the Sentria as it is on your Kirby G6 vacuum.

I hope this helps!

Ya or it could be as simple as a worn drive belt. You can get replacement belts here:

Kirby G6 Replacement Belt

check for blockage or impeller if vacum makes loud noise the impeller is the part that gives it suction

Bracket cam assembly (see and buy HERE). It is worn so it does not disengage gears completely. On the part listing you will also find the instructions on how to replace it.

And thank you for using Fixya!!!

go to a vacuum repair shop and take the old bulb with you along with the model number and make of your vacuum cleaner

When a vacuum cuts out while working, it usually indicates overheating. Most have a thermal cut-out, which will reset itself if given time to cool. The cause is usually a blockage of some sort.

Try taking it to a local kirby office and ask them if there is anyone in your area that can refurbish the motor instead of replacing everything. If that doesn't work ask a local dealer or call the dealer that you bought it from and tell them that you would like to trade your old one in for a newer one. I used to work for Kirby and I can guarentee that the Kirby itself, straight from the factory only runs about $200!
