Dirt on the vacuum’s squeegee can also leave streaks.
Step 3: Remove the Brush Bar (if Necessary) and Broken Belt.Once the base plate is removed, you should be able to access both the brushroll and the belt..
But before you start the replacement process, look carefully at how the belt attaches to the brush roll.Is it held in place by tension alone?Or is there something else that’s holding the belt in position?
Does the brush need to be removed?It’s important to check so you know how to attach the new belt.. Once you understand how the belt attaches, you may need to remove the brush roll (often by sliding it through the belt loop) and then detach the belt from the motor shaft.
On some vacuums, you can just slide off the drive belt without needing to remove the brush roll..
Take a few photos of the brush bar before you remove it, just in case you forget how the various parts fit back together..Filters need to be cleaned regularly to maintain your vacuum’s suction.
As we mentioned earlier in the article, the pre-motor filters should be cleaned at least once per month (or more for heavy usage).Post-motor filters can be cleaned once per year.
Check your vacuum’s manual, however, as these timings may vary depending on which model you own.. Clean the brush roll and floorhead.String, hair, and rug fibres can get caught around the brush roll, which may stop it from turning.
