We recently recorded a very helpful video that will walk you step by step through changing the belt on your Kirby G4. Also the video will show you how you can do routine maintenance on your roller brush that will extend the life of your belt dramatically.

If you haven't already purchased the belt for your Kirby, here's a direct link to the belt that your Kirby G4 uses on our website,

Here's the video,





I really hope that the video was helpful. Please feel free to use the Clarification Request here on Fixya if you have any questions about how to change the belt. I am always more then happy to help you further diagnose your machine if my suggestion didn't work.

When putting on belt and brush housing are u makeing sure the switch on the main housing is being engaged when putting on brush housing to main frame of Vacume

Here's how you replace the belt on all Kirby Generation Upright Vacuum Cleaners;

Put the belt over the brush roll, set it in the middle, put the brush roll into the head and put on the bottom plate. Turn the big knob on the front of the nozzle to catch the belt, turn it until it locks into place. Then put the nozzole onto the front of the vac, then turn the knob all of the way the other direction, it will put it on the motor pulley.

Even if you have a new belt, do everything this guide tells you to do. The seller may have the power nozzle assembled improperly. If the brushroll is in wrong or the base plate is not on correctly, it may cause these symptoms.

TURN THE BELT LIFTER IN THE FRONT CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE RED ARROWS LINE UP. NOW TURN THE LATCH AT THE TOP OF THE POWER NOZZLE AND TAKE THE NOZZLE OFF. HOOK THE HOSE EVENLY ON THE BAR BELOW THE FAN, LEAN IT UP AND LATCH IT ON WITH THE LATCH.
