If you’ve ever been in the middle of cleaning and had your vacuum to stop working, you know how frustrating a malfunctioning device can be. If your vacuum suddenly loses suction power, there are a few possible culprits to blame. The following guide highlights some of the reasons vacuums lose suction and gives you tips to rectify problems.

3 Reasons Vacuums Stop Working Properly

1. Obstructed Roller Head

Most canister and upright vacuums have a rotating roller head. This is the part of the appliance that rolls over the floor, pushing dirt and debris up into the airflow chamber to be suctioned away. Some debris may get stuck in the roller head, causing your vacuum to malfunction. When this happens, remove the rotating brush and get rid of any obstructions. 

2. Full Bag

vacuumAll the dirt, debris, and dander you sweep up collects in the cleaner bag. If you fail to replace the bag when it’s full, your vacuum will stop working. If your vacuum loses suction power, and there’s nothing trapped in the roller head, replace the cleaner bag. 

3. Dying Motor

The motor is what gives your sweeper the power it needs to suck up debris. If it dies or begins to fail, you’ll notice weakening power, a burning scent, or unusual whirring sounds when the vacuum powers on. If you spot these indicators, bring the device to a repair shop for a diagnosis and repair or replacement.
