I have a Hoover u6311-930 which seems to be operating normally but there is no suction in the tube that attaches to the vacuum bag.
Any suggestions will be appreciated

I have a orbiter that I bought used. There is a rotating plate that is hitting a motor bolt. I can’t tell if the plate is bent or if a spacer is missing. Is anyone familiar with these units? Or where can I find an exploded parts diagram of it.
Thank You

How do I replace bushings/bearings on the Roller Brush Bar of a Rainbow Vacuum Power Nozzle R2800C? The Roller Brush Bar on the Power Nozzle runs then jams and trips circuit breaker. Roller Bar does not rotate freely on end that holds belt.

My temperature light comes on stops my canister vac, I have several times since (days have passed) and the unit will still not come on…only the temperture light comes on. Do I need a new motor? My unit is 17 years old but was serviced within the last 12 months.

Brushes don’t spin how do I get to the switch that shuts the brushes off to see if it has broken or become disingaged somehow switch seems flimsy can I still get the part that turns the brushes which is just a small cheap plastic rod

I have a rainbow vac that when turned on sounds as if the motor is not kicking into run winding. After a few seconds I can smell heated windings like maybe it is still in start winding.
Do I need to replace that expensive motor?
