Three Things to Check Before You Call for Vacuum Repair

Whether you own an old-fashioned vacuum or a newer model, the vacuums are one of the simplest appliances in most homes and while its mechanics may be simple, remember, it still requires some repair and maintenance.

Just as your car won't function without hoses and belts, the same applies to your vacuum. For instance, punctures in the hoses will result in suction loss and a broken belt will stop the beater bar from working, leaving hair, debris, and dirt embedded in your rugs and carpets.

Eventually, all vacuums show signs of wear and tear and might need replacement or repair. Nevertheless, before you panic and call vacuum repair Cooper City, you should check these things.

Suction Loss

If you own a bag vacuum, the first thing you must do is ensure the bag isn't full and that it doesn't have a hole. Examine the inside of the section that holds the bag to confirm that debris and dust aren't outside the bag.

If you find dust and debris in the bag compartment, it's time you changed the bag since there's a hole in it. If you own a bagless model, check to ensure your container doesn't need emptying. Examine the seals on the container to ensure they're intact and not dried out or cracked, signifying they need replacement.

Most vacuums have numerous filters that can become blocked with dust. If a blockage occurs in the filters, the vacuum suction won't be as powerful as it should be. Examine all your vacuum filters and if they're washable, remove and clean them using plain water.

Run the filter under water until you see clear water coming out of the filter. Don't use any chemicals or cleaners to clean your filter. Ensure the filters are completely dry before returning them to the appliance for use.

Bear in mind that a wet filter could blow your vacuum's motor. If you decide to replace the filters because there's no problem with the dust container or bags, remember there are numerous types of filters and different ways of installing them. Therefore, it's important you contact the best vacuum repair Cooper City to establish the model that suits your vacuum before attempting a replacement.

If you've cleaned or replaced your filters and the appliance still exhibits suction loss, examine your hoses for clogs. You can remove most hoses completely to check for blockages. While inspecting the hoses for blockage, also look at the hoses' condition. If you see dust accumulation on the exterior of the hose, there's a hole and you'll need vacuum cleaner repair Cooper City.

The Vacuum Keeps Shutting Off or won't Turn On

The first thing you must do is examine the plug to see whether it's plugged in properly. You should also check whether it's stable. Keep in mind that a wobbly connection is frequently the culprit. Consider plugging the appliance elsewhere to allow proper electricity flow. This way, your unit won't shut off intermittently.

If you're using a portable appliance, examine the battery. Perhaps it's run out of power and requires replacement. Another thing you should do is examine the cord integrity. If there's an exposed wire, unplug the vacuum first to prevent the likelihood of electrocution.

You can use electrical tape to fix minor and superficial wiring problems temporarily. If you've attempted these solutions but the appliance still won't turn on, contact a vacuum repair shop Cooper City. The issue might be a defective sensor or a loose connection between the appliance and the power source, neither of which you should repair on your own.

There's a Burning Smell from the Vacuum

A burning smell signifies several potential problems and you should switch off the unit immediately. If you see smoke, three problems could be the cause:

1) A smelly bag

A smelly bag is the most probable cause of the issue. After all, everything from pet hair to food could end up there. To fix the issue, simply substitute the bag.

2) A smelly canister

Similar to bagged vacuums, dust canisters in non-bagged units could end up smelling. To solve this problem, empty the canister.

3) Dirty filters

Dirty filters are another probable culprit. Try cleaning them in a mixture of water and baking soda. If it doesn't work, you'll have to substitute the filters.

There are several likely causes of vacuum problems and while you can handle some, some you should leave to the experts.
