How do I clean the brush, it quit turning when I am vacuuming?

If I recall, i used pipe cleaners, duct tape, and maybe a tooth brush. I had to really work at it. I had to make the parts move. We had lots of my hair stuck in it. Ours broke because it wasn't properly maintained and i guesd the motor burned! I couldn't find a new filter for it. Boo hoo, i misd my Turbo Water vac because it was the best. Hepa cleaners my arse! Good luck cleaning your baby!

I've had my vacuum for about a year now. I bought the 1st vacuum like this one 2yrs ago and returned it while under warranty because the brush unit stopped spinning even though the vacuum was still sucking air. I purchase a 2nd one after that and here I am a year after that and again this vacuum has stopped working. Same problem. Is there an easy fix? I see that the belts are available through Amazon, but I don't want to order this part unless this will absolutely fix the problem. I actually like this vacuum and am disappointed that it stopped working. Any advice?

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

try twisting any one hose 1/4 turn and repeat until you get the movement you want. it should move in different directions as it cleans

I have to press the reset button too. I also clean the brissels of the brushes. I found that this helps me not have to reset it as often. I still haven't figured out how to use the attached brush.

I found with another vacuum that the belts were being melted because the beater brush wasn't spinning smoothly - there was something causing it to bind at one end (hair, etc.). So, take the brush out and make sure both ends rotate smoothly and easily - then it may stop burning through belts.

There is a filter in the back...use your vacuum to clean it off. There is a filter in the front...take it out and rinse it...let it dry and return it.. That easy.

No That part of it works well. I only had my brush for 5 months and it stopped working. I have to send it back to the manufacturer and they will fix it or replace it. I have to pay to send it back.

Yes, it's very simple. There's a switch right on the handle where you select carpet or floor. When on floor, the rotating brush is turned off.

Be sure one of the wheels on the bottom is not locked up. That could cause it to spin in one direction. also check that the hose connections spin freely otherwise it will jam up the cleaner. Hope this helps

you have to take the small spinner brush apart - it is very easy - when you take it apart you will see a tiny rubber belt - take that off and clean around the wheel - you will probably find something is caught around it - this brush stopped on me and after taking it apart and cleaning it inside - it started again - you will have to do this every once in awhile - good luck

Perhaps the brush is bent and is not snug in the sweeper. I'm sure you can straighten it by hand. I notice the brush pops out of the sweeper if too much pressure is applied on carpeting.

IN upright mode no -- when you bring handle down the brushes start spinning and that moves it some but not powered wheels or anything.

The brush does rotate and appears to be powered by either belt or direct drive action. I have the older model and it also had a rotating brush. In both cases, you can operate with or without brush rotation. When you first slide the on/off switch forward you get only suction. The next " click " engages the brush. Pulling the switch " back " from the off position releases the dust cup for cleaning.

No, I'm sorry I can not help. As a matter of fact, I am having the same problem. I have tried various cleaners without any luck. Finally, I just stopped scrubbing on it. I basically just gave up. Any suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated.

Mine spins but it stops every time I use it and I have to remove the brush, clean off the long hairs it has picked up, and put it back in to make it work. As in 1 8 x 10 room rug makes it stop every time. You need a coin to turn the lock on the bottom and pull the brush out. I wouldn't buy a Dyson again due to this issue, I had an Oreck for years that never jammed. Hope that helps?
