Why does my vacuum cleaner have no suction?

Posted by admin
me,myself, and I asked:


Help! I have a Dirt Devil Swivil Upright vacuum cleaner, only had it for six mos. now and bought it brand new. I noticed yesterday that it wasn’t picking up at all. I pulled the hand held hose out to check and sure enough there is no suction what so ever! I checked to make sure there were no clogs or anything that had stopped it up, I also checked the belt and the bag was just replaced a couple days ago, it was practically empty. It sounds fine, there is just no suction. Any ideas? I just can’t get a new vacuum right now. Thanks in advance!

      The floor funnel unit is rotating you recently replaced the bag you shouldnt have the floor funnel unit is rotating you said you shouldnt have the bag.
      My upright part had to be mindful of making sure that snapped back in the bag if the upright part had large plastic tupperwarestyle front panel on the upright.

      If as you said you’ve checked out every possible causes
      It could be the swivel blades in side that might have gone loose
      If it’s just 6 months of purchase
      I would advice you bring it back on warranty
      Please do not try dismantling it
      In doing so, your warranty will be void
