The rug cleaner roller will come on but will not stay on for more than 30 seconds. The roller is clean, the belt is fine. The switch seems to be working. What could my problem be?
Hi P. Taylor! The first thing that I would think to check would be the motor and if that is actually powering the belt. The next thing I would check would be to see if the belt is tight enough to consistently activate the roller as it may look good, but could be stretched.
I think my air pro developed this problem. The roller is supposed to automatically engage when you recline the vacuum. My vacuum will only engage the brushroller if I recline the vacuum barely an inch or two, any lower and it instantly shuts off. It was almost impossible to vacuum in this weird upright position so I’m looking for a fix. I feel like the problem is somewhere low around the steerable neck area, like a sensor is giving a false reading. If i find an answer i’ll let you know.
I have the same problem. I disassembled the housing for the brush and started the vacuum to see if the motor would run and stay running with the belt disconnected, same result. The motor runs for a few seconds then stops. I replaced the motor, same result. There is a small circuit board that the motor plugs into (they call it a wiring harness). I will replace this board and retry. My thought is that maybe a capacitor or transistor is going bad on this board causing the motor to stop running.
I purchased belt, part number listed in Manual and replaced belt but it is too long and will not run the roller. Anyone else have this problem?
This thing is stupid by a new vacuum on wayfair
I’m having the same problem - since its last service actually, when they replaced/upgraded parts. Spend more time cleaning it than using it effectively. Ready to throw it away now. It is worse on carpet than tiles, but does it there too.
