I am trying to take the cover in my vacuum model uv 300 . I unscrewed every screw to free the cover and try to fix it but no success. My vacuum is new and the round brush keeps stopping and making a squeaky noise. I am frustrated. Can you help me please?

Did you remove all the screws that remove the wheels also? There are rubber grometts that hold the brush rotator in place and seems that you may have to pry on it gently to seperate the 2 halfs. I have never taken mine apart yey but that seems to me how it would be done . Good Luck let me know how it comes out .

Hi Yolanda, try taking the cover off by pulling it away from the two tabs on either side, then lifting until the hooks on the front end release. Check that the belt is in place and not off the gears or broken. Check also for any debris that might be preventing the belt or the brush from turning. To replace the cover, make sure brush is in its slots, then hook the cover on the front hooks and click back into place.

I am guessing something is missing. I have had two of these vacuums and never had this problem. You may want to return it and let them know it is defective. Hope this helps.

I find that only happens when I pull the vacuum back and bump it with my knee, so I just try to be mindful not to tap it and I don't have issues. If that doesn't help, perhaps the button that holds it in place is worn and you need a replacement handle, I can't imagine it being very expensive. It may be free if your vacuum is still covered on warranty.

Its a Suction issue. Haven't had this vacuum for 1 yr & its already useless. Local Repair recommends to buy new over repairing. I'm going back to bagged vacuums, This bag less concept has been a nightmare from the getgo

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

First make sure that your intake hose isn't clogged. That would stop the motorized brush on mine every time. If a clogged hose isn't the problem and the reset button doesn't do the trick, then I'd call Dyson's service department. The number should be on their website.

Same problem I had with my first one. If you call Dyson, they will have someone walk you through taking it all apart and cleaning it etc. I had already done this so I knew that wasn't the problem, but I did it again anyway. Still wasn't working. I finally returned it and got a new one. My new one actually stops occasionally too, but not like the old one. I'm not sure if you can still return it for a new one or not, but I would if you are able. Good luck.

I have model # U4160H2R4 Type 7. I just compared the photos. Works like it's brand new. You will have to disassemble the bottom of the unit for the new install and clean out before installing the new parts. You will notice that the brush has two guide plates on both sides of the brush with the words old & new. I set it to the new setting. Installed the new belt and bag , and it works great ! About 30 minutes to change the parts out. Make sure you remove the side access cover for the belt, remove the old one and clean up the motor drive spindle of old rubber before installing the new one. I hope I have been helpful.

I think if you flip it over to expose the brush there should be some screws that can loosen to remove the plastic opening around the brush. Make sure it's unplugged. Or just pull out the build up of hair etc. by hand.

Just unpacked mine - guess what? There's a setting just for vacuuming. It turns the brushes off. Who knew? Have only done the rugs today. Guess my old vacuum cleaner wasn't cleaning very well!

When mine was brand new, I had that trouble, too. Try pressing the button in different spots and hold it down for awhile in each spot. Then when you find the exact spot where it starts, use that in the future every time you brush.

No. The unit has been terrific for a few years. Have you tried to remove the bar with the brushes and re-insert it? Maybe the gear that drives it is broken or not far enough in. Have you spoken with Hoover service. They may have a quick and/or simple diagnostic or corrective suggestion. b.cooper

I guess you have considered a broken belt? Also, were both top buttons turned on? Is anything binding the brush (something- like string or other soft item) the brush? I haven't had that problem so I'm just throwing things at the wall. Good luck.

Place the brush in without the brush cover, close the door and press the green button. You should see the ultraviolet light go on. If the area that you're in is bright it's difficult to see. Test it at night - if you don't see the DIM ultraviolet light throuth the door then definitely return it! Good luck!

You have a broken or belt that came off. Flip it down so you can see the bottom of the vacuum. Remove the bottom plate and you will see the Brush and a broken or off belt. Probably have to order a belt cause if you have a sears store by you I'm sure if you go in there they will look at you with a stupid look a day give you the wrong get part

It's like all the comments below, just squeeze the sides evenly and it will come off quick and easy, but it is possible you are trying to squeeze the solid part of the housing where the remote is kept which that will make it difficult to remove the cover. if you are still having a hard time then it possible it is defective.
