I have a kenmore progressive upright vacuum cleaner. I got a shoelace cought in the rotating brush. I dislodged the shoe lace but the brush would not rotate. I heard that there is a reset button but I cannot find it. The model number is 216.37105800. Where is the reset button or can I download a users manual? Thanks for the help. Russ
I would try turning the brush by hand to see if there is any resistance. I'm not aware of a "reset" switch that is end user accessible. If the vacuum still has suction, make sure you are using it on a carpet. The brush doesn't turn on wood or vinyl flooring.

Hi Clyde
Without looking at your exact problem with my eyes, I believe that it may be as simple as Unplugging the unit, then try to grab the shoelace, if it is still visible, you may need needle-nose pliers, and then try to unwind the shoelace. It may be jamming the brush!
It sounds like what happened to my wife recently! I was able to remove the lace, and was back in business! On my unit, (Kenmore brand), I had to remove the cover of the head. While I was in there, I replaced the agitator brush belt. Good Luck!

There may also be a reset button. If the brushes get stuck the unit can shut off power to the brushes to keep a total melt down from occurring. The reset button should return power in these types of vacuums.

The All Floors model has a protective belt clutch system and the rattling sound means the clutch has slipped. This would have to be repaired officially by a Dyson repairer.
