Repair or Replace the Vacuum Cleaner?
On a previous post, we talked about some of the most common vacuum cleaner problems. Before you throw the device away, check more on this topic and how to determine when to refer to a professional home appliance repair service.
Diagnosing Vacuum Cleaner Problems
The Vacuum Is Leaving Debris Behind!
- Empty the bag or canister.
- Clean your brush roll and its bearings.
- If it is not a brush problem, it is possibly a belt issue. Belts might be too stretched out or broken, and sometimes, they also tend to fall off. Consult a professional for this task.
The Device Is Extra Noisy
Most vacuum cleaners are usually loud enough to make their presence noticed. When your machine makes extra noise, though, that usually indicates obstructions or motor issues.
If something is obstructing the hose, it can produce some weird noises once the suction starts. Check and take the item away from the hose.- Again, belt problems are the most common problems. When belts are not attached or are on their way out, they can produce truly heinous noises.
- If it is not the belts or hose, your motor is probably on the way out. Motors get particularly noisy before they give up for good. If you think this is the case, contact an appliance repair expert.
Smells Really Bad
- Empty the bag or canister.
- Check the air and exhaust filters. Clean or replace them, if necessary.
- If your vacuum cleaner is still emitting an odor after you have thoroughly checked the vacuum bag, filters, and brush roll, take it to a professional.
Hopefully, you’ve found your vacuum problem in one of our posts, and you’ve been able to repair it. If not, you need to contact a home appliance repair company in Colorado.
