carpet got stuck, vac stopped working

I no longer have a Kenmore as i traded it for a Miele. But sometimes strings gwill wrap around the brush and prevent it from turning. Tedious unwinding strings from around the spindle. Wishing you good luck.

Vacuum is way too heavy and bulky. Suction is strong, but not worth the other negative issues

Mine is still working. My beef was with the hand-held rotary brush (Handi-Mate Jr)

Our carpet is not plush. It worked well until it got clogged. I have not had this problem before and took it in to get cleaned, $53 later. Will pick it up this week.

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

The carpet has not been wet since the stain was removed, so I can't advise you on this.

Mine stopped as well, it was the on/off switch...I called Eureka and they gave me a list of warranty vacuum shops to choose from. Was in shop for 3 days and he mentioned it was one screw to get to part that broke so if it happens after warranty I know my husband can repair it.

Sorry I cannot provide an answer to that question. You might want to call a vaccum repair service with that question.

I am not sure what vacuum model you have but it could be one of several issues. The wand pushes into the lower body of the vacuum and at that point it opens or closes a valve to allow you to use the sweeper or the wand, If the wand has no suction it is generally caused by sticky valve or something is lodged in the valve assembly creating the problem. I would also check the hose and make sure nothing is lodged where the hose enters the lower part of the vacuum. The hose on most models unscrews with a 1/2 turn. If you cannot get suction you may need to take it in for service.

Try taking out the batteries and putting them back in. I had no problem with mine when I got it and have loved it! Sorry yours isn't working. Also, it has to be on a flat surface. It doesn't work on the carpet.

Thanks for your replies! I took it to a Dyson authorized dealer for repair. Cost would have been $138. Asked the owner if he did trade-ins and which was his best vacuum cleaner. I went home with a Riccar. Its great!!! With two golden retrievers I figure in six months I'd be back with the same problem. Thanks again.Bill

With sandpaper off the pad turn on the unit. You should some if the vacuum channels or clogged. Recommend to shop a vacuum the sander after use. That way when you want to use again, it is ready to go.

Yes it happened to me once because I didn't properly lock the compartment holding the dirt. Mine had many problems but I'm pretty sure what you experienced is due to some part of the vacuum not being closed properly.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

remove the carpet attachment with the screwdriver and replace it with the bare floor tool. you will be able to tell which part to remove, it looks similar to the replacement part.

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.

I used a dry vacuum and it wasn't effective. Maybe if you used resolve and then used a regular (wet) carpet cleaner it might help. I don't know. For me, it wasn't effective.

Haven't encountered this problem. Our vacuum is working just fine. Might want to try cust. support.

Since the vacuum broke while vacuuming my kitchen floors and I never got to the carpet, I have NO idea!! I can tell you I did buy another Hoover, the Whole House wind tunnel, which works perfectly on both hardwood and carpet. I guess I got a lemon first time around, since I got talked into another Hoover...
