Belt replacement can you tell me how i replace the belt on my electrolux velocity hoover please

Are you talking about the brushroll? If one side of it wont turn then most likely the beating is fouled and it needs to be replaced.

Something may be keeping the brush roll from spinning freely which may have caused the belt to break.

Your best bet is checking the owner's manual.

I was not aware that hoover and electrolux merged if so you will probably need a phillips screwdriver turn the unit so you can see the roller remove all the screws that hold the cover to the base than take off the cover plate and check the belt if it needs replaced remove the old belt take off the roller by sliding it out of the slots put the belt on the shaft that is conected to the motor first than over the end of the roller where the belt should ride than you will need to pull the roller towards the front of the unit untill it slides into the slots on the side of the base put the side that dosent have the belt in first than replace the roller cover plate and the screws and you are ready to vacuum, Don the Vacuum Doctor Alb, N.M.

check for a recall on that product

You have broken the rubber belt that drives the brush. Flip over and remove the old belt and replace it with a new one.

we had the same problem and replaced the driver belt. The only problem is that we seem to have to replace the belt everytime we hoover!

Burnt smell is probably the belt slipping. Even though it looks OK, either the belt needs replacement and/or the roller needs cleaning and/or lubrication at the ends. Try cleaning the roller ends first and then light lubrication with WD40. If belt works, you are done. If not, replace belt.

go to thehooverstore site. find your machine and they'll have exploded diagrams for your machine - your should be able to tell how to replace the belt.
