Can someone advise how to remove the VAC024 vacuum attachment? I heard it click, so it was properly inserted. The problem is taking it out. How?

If you havent already figured it out: The hose has a 'nipple' close to where it piviots. It protrudes out facing the bottom. The click that you hear is the nipple snapping into place. So the idea is to lift the vacuum hose up so the nipple 'exits' it's 'housing' and pull out. Good luck.

I would guess that if our attachments ever became loose, I would first see if I could address why....put a rubber band or something around the neck of the loose piece or maybe even duct tape. We haven't tried other brand attachments, but most on our regular vacuums are interchangeable. Sorry I cannot help you more!

There is a sonicrafter accessory called a "Dust Extraction Adapter", that hooks up to a shop vac. My guess the adapter screws into the holes. The adapter didn't have very good reviews, so I passed on buying one.

You release the vacuum by just pressing on the side of the Check Valve that sits atop the lid. See http://youtu.be/wJbVzBciQcY

When you dump the container, do you also untwist and remove the upper filter and clean it? I killed a prior bagless vacuum because I did not know I could remove the plastic filter and the dust clogged the filter and motor overheated. Good luck.

Not sure exactly which wand attachment you are having problems with. I just push in the red button and it releases from the unit and then slides onto the hose with a click. If it's the longer piece just pull up on it and it will come off. It will also attach to the hose with a click. I'll go home for lunch and check for sure.

I haven't tried taking it apart. I put the vacuum in reverse & did a blow out

I have the deputy attached with wing nuts. I just reach inside the vac and unscrew them. Empty, and reattach.

If you are talking about the main hose that has the crevice tool fitting on it, it is a left handed thread. Tighten by turning it counter clockwise. Maybe try some silicone or soft glue. It is one of the flaws of this vacuum. And honestly, frustrating..

Not much help, I installed with some unconventional items fronm the local hardware store. My advice would to get in contact with a place that handles central vacs.

i took sweeper all apart in attempt to fix this also i ended up breaking the vacuum and it was just over 1 year old. I was very careful it was a mess i broke a piece and still never regained full suction. I went out and bought a shark professional vacuum

The hose is already attaches to the vacuum, you just push the gray button and the hose comes off. The attachments are on the side, there's a small red attachment inside the black one. When you pull those to pieces off the vacuum and connect them to the hose you are in business.

I'm thinking you pulled it out way past the red mark on the cord and broke it. I did that to my vacuum cord, I had to put a pinch clothes pin on that. Sorry.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.

Cathy, I have searched and tried to find this answer and have failed, but I would suggest going to https://www.shopvac.com/support/support.asp and submitting this question to Shop-Vac and then letting the world know. I am sorry that I only have another direction for you to meander in your search for truth. good luck - Baker

I don't think you can, a vac store can probably repair it for you. Look on the shark website.

Sorry i can't help with this. Did you take it completely apart when cleaning it?
