It could be something has the hose constricted... You might want to do a little more cleaning inside other than just changing the bag... Have you seen the cat lately? Also check the roller brushes to see if they have something like string wrapped around the ends.
Have a nice day !!!
I think you mean it's an 8955, Riccar has not had a 8995 model. If there is no suction in the hose it has to have something clogging it. Open the little round opening on the back of the vacuum where the hose attaches to see if you have suction there.
no suction?
performance indicator says no suction?
find and remove the clog.
id be looking in the hose about 4 inches from where the dirt enters the brush but dont limit your looking. The entire system should be checked for a clog. Remove it and you willbe back in business.
I have 'trash picked' more than 100 vacuums this summer, off the curb. 90 were clogged. I cleaned then and turned them into $.
This type of vacuum is not designed to vacuum up sheetrock
dust or pieces of sheetrock. The dust from sheetrock is so fine it will clog the vacuum bag, filters and possible the motor
So change the bag, use an air hose to blow out the motor area and
the hoses make sure that air hose has in line filter to catch moisture
If you have something like a metal ball, drop it down one end of the hose to see if it comes out the other side. The hose, wands or the inlet in the power head, if any of these have a clog, that red light comes on and suction is low.
