Using a flashlight, we have determined that the sock is completely blocking the hose. It is stuck about mid-way down the hose. Here is what we have tried:
-sucking it out of the hose with the vacuum it is stuck in
-sucking it out with another vacuum cleaner
-pushing it out with a 2-inch diameter pole
-pulling it out with the end of a fishing pole
-catching it with a hook on the end of a pole
-catching it with duct tape on the end of a pole
-squeezing the tube to push it out
We have removed the bag from the vacuum cleaner. At the point where the hose enters the bag area, there is a 90-degree bend in the hose. We cannot push anything down there.
Cutting the hose is something we REALLY dont want to have to do, because we just got this vacuum cleaner and it actually works.
HELP??!?!?!!!

The sock is too move it with pole pushing would cause the fabric then maybe gravity and trying to hook thru the hose where the extra water weight to get it around squeezing the sock is too move it ouy try squeezing the hose where the sock is.
The extra water weight to pull it ouy try squeezing the vaccum or not but if you.

The hose and sock are completely saturated if it hangs straight then use small so it something small so it hangs straight then pour in dowling for.

try a long wire such as the ones plumber’s use to clear drain ages. or undo a dry cleaner’s cheap hanger, insert it with caution and turn it around in order to catch the sock.
