It could be due to a stretched or worn drive belt. Here is a link to the owners manual which has instructions and a link to the belt you need.

I can't reset my thermal reset button on my Riccar Brilliance

You may have hair and debris in the endcaps or bearings of your brushroll causing a restriction. The belt sensor thinks you have something stuck in the brushroll so it shuts it off. It's a simple fix, if you can't figure out how to do it take it to your Riccar dealer.

Motor on Eureka vaccum is suddenly very loud. I've changed all the filters and the belt.

The likeliest causes would be a large item sucked up and into the fan, causing a loud rattling noise, or a piece of the fan broke, resulting in the same noise. This means replacing the fan assembly.
The armature brushes could also be worn down to the point of causing the brush holders to contact the armature, which will, and probably has, ruin the motor. A replacement of the motor is necessary.
Cost of repair/replacement would probably be higher than the vacuum is worth.

What is the cause of the loud noise in my vaccum it's a eureka boss bagless

If it's a rattling type noise, its possibly something in the fan assembly, including a broken off piece of the fan.
It could also be something loose near the roller brush, including a piece of the belt.

When I move my bottom lever from Floor to Carpet

I cannot express enough you need to clean your dyson as great as it is its still a vaccum. look underneath at roller, clean out tube wash filter and check to see if vaccum ate something which is stuck inside. I have had mine for 4years and still picks up after 2goldens and kids.

Loud noise/Sounds clogged

You could have a clogged air filter and vacuum is not getting air to motor. You could have hair and string buildup on ends of roller brush. You can put a vaccum hose over a broom handle to clean it out. Also, check the little elbow of the hose at the bottom f vacuum where it bends.

Sounds like something is 'stuck' -

unplug, then unwind the shoelace from the roller.

My Kirby G3 makes a loud, high pitch whistle with the hose

I would say you either have something stuck on the impeller or there is a piece of paper or something stuck inside the hose. its not clogging the hose but when the air passes by it. It is making that noise. If you find nothing you may need a repair. May have a bad bearing in the motor. Actually you can also try inspecting the brush on the head. It removes easily from vacuum and should spin freely and quietly.

Weak pick up power

that's true!!! you've take that for granted because metal strips such as the hair clip will tend to deteriorate the engine power. Since the turbine of your vaccum cleaner uses dynamo to provide for spin and it has supply electromagnetic charge. Since there's a metal that has picked up, it will absorb the magnetic power of dynamo causing your engine to malfunctioned step by step.. Better check the engine to a liscensed technician to repair the problem.

Bissell vaccum problem

Could be plugged, check the hose and at the bottom by the brush roll, the inlet maybe clogged. Also check the filter under neath the dirt tank. There are filters above the dirt container, clean those out. If after that it is still loud, then maybe the motor fan or bearins are bad and will have to be replaced, part #2031214 sells for around $55.
