Kirbys are so easy to fix . After working for Kirby many years ago , I have been maintaining my G4 and other Kirbys I have to save money
@user-sg7dm7nd4e Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your video! I am a 70yr old female senior on a fixed income & I purchased my Kirby (paying it off in installments), in 2018. Of course, the vacuum cleaner conked out and lost all of its suction at the leanest time of the month (moneywise) and I was really stressing about how I was going to get it fixed! I googled you for help and found your video. It was very easy to understand and follow along, but I had already checked the belt and sweeper head and changed the bag. Then you followed those basic instructions by telling me the other 2 places to look for, and clear clogs, and low and behold, ONE OF THEM WORKED!!! My sweeper has been REBORN! You were the answer to an old, not at all mechanically inclined, single woman's prayers! Thank you so much for your guidance. It was greatly appreciated!

I watched the video and had already tried most of the things to check except to undo the bag from the outside of the machine. Sure enough that's where the clog was. I was afraid to remove that bag but with your easy instructions I finally tried it and the bag popped right off just like you said it would! Thank you for a wonderful product and tutorials to help us do it yourselfers fix their own stuff.

I inherited a newer Kirby Vacuum...I have an older unit that works great...I was disappointed with the new one because it wasn't picking up like my older unit, didn't sound right and the brush head was bouncing off the carpet. Well following your lead, not sure which of the 3 things I did fixed it but, after a new bag, a new belt and adjustment of the brush head it now works as good as my other older unit, maybe better...good job.

The green led on the power nozzle is not connected to any circuit. It only lights up when the brush roll spins. So, you don't need to flip the vacuum upside down to see the brushroll spinning. The brushroll has a magnet embedded in it, and when it spins, the magnet passes by a small coil, generating a tiny bit of electricity, enough to power the LED for just a moment. Spinning fast enough, the LED stays lit. When the roll stops spinning, because, say, it got stuck to the carpet or pulled in a sock or something, the LED no longer illuminates. You can easily see how it works yourself: 1. Remove the head and loosen the belt, like at 5:20 and at 7:18. Note at 5:20 he turns the belt hook knob from red to green without mentioning it. 2. Turn the nozzle over so you can see the LED. 3. Now give the brush a spin with your fingers. If you get it to turn fast enough, which is not very difficult, you'll see the LED light up a few times.

Learned a lot! my belt doesnt seem to be broken, by broken you mean litteraly broken? How to tell if its warn out? It just doesnt seems to have a strong pick up like a kirby, but the green light also doesnt go on--okay something very odd is going on. When I line up the green arrows should be belt on, belt is off! When I line the reds belt is on! What the heck--well the green light is not going on and the roll is not spinning

The belt is in right, the belt is a couple years old but still sturdy. The brush roll and all of the tubes are free of clogs. Could it be the fan? I do have a chip in the fan but it's a very small chip.

I checked the brush, changed the bag, changed the brush levels and checked the spinney thing. It wasn’t until I popped off the attachment part that goes from the head to the bag that I found the most ridiculous clog. I’m embarrassed but now my vacuum is picking up stuff again. It seems to be shutting off on its own though now...any suggestions?

Hey there, can you (or anyone reading this) suggest what might be happening for me? I have had my gen 3 for 20-ish years and the last few I have been unable to use it because of the cleaning height. I drop it to where I hear the change and that's too low and it creates a 'vacuum' with the power head and the roller stops. The bristles are not too low (compared with a new one) but we still tried all 3 brush heights. This happens on any and all carpet pile type. The result is I can't get the brush close enough to the carpet to even touch it, let alone clean it. Any thoughts, Kirby community? ps the belt is new, with a rough interior, set correctly.
