My central vacuum has no suction

[@annemariefreeman187]

Thank you! Your trick with the marble sorted me out! A piece of cardboard was wedged in the hand held part. I was able wedge it out! Saved me a call out fee!

Nice work. Glad to help

Thanks for the trouble shooting steps!!

[@monroevacs]

You're welcome

One thing I did learn is to take a big shop vac and shove the hose in the problematic port and turn on the shop vac and it should pull the clog out. If not you’ll have to call in a professional 🙂

[@monroevacs]

That’s it. Try the same thing a pro would try first

Seal, is that you?

[@monroevacs]

You found me 😊

@monroevac In all seriousness though, your vid helped me figure out where I had a clog in the central vacuum lines of a new house we just bought. Thanks!!!

How do you unclog the line between the 2 points that seem to be clogged?

[@monroevacs]

It takes patience and a little creativity. You’ll need a shop vac, or something strong like it and another person to help. Insert the shop vac hose point one. And in a back and forth, turn the main unit on and then the shop vac. The idea is to rock the clog back and forth until it loosens.
