cannot open central vacuum cannister to change bag

---

We just purchased a house with the Easy Flo central vacuum system. When we opened the canister to empty it we discovered a bag or something hanging down into the canister. It is covered with dust, dirt, hair and who knows what. Do we change it or clean it?

Motor quit working. i was vacuuming and all seemed fine. then the motor went really low. when I opened it I noticed that the bag was not attached and the cannister had filled up with stuff and the filter was full. the vacuum will not run now.

My friend, the dirt you sucked up went right into the motor and it burned up. I am very sorry to tell you this.

I have a Z345 Electrolux cylinder vacuum cleaner, from the 1970s probably, but not used much. I have lost the guide. I forgot to change the bag before it was full. Smoke started to come out - smelling of burnt paper, not rubber. So switched off. It did not blow the fuse, and may be OK. I wish to inspect it. How do I open it up? Alos I have an air filter and a motor filter for it. I have often changed the air filter on the top. How do I get at the motor filter, if there is one? Than

Won't start. My son was using the vacuum & Didn't change the bag. The vacuum was making the full bag smell, but the light was't on & it didn't stop. I stopped him, changed the bag, checked the filter, closed the compartments & turned on the vacuum. Nothing happened. I checked to be sure that it was plugged in, that wasn't the problem. I've let the vacuum "rest" for several days, It still won't start. Any suggestions?

Hello, we have a Miele cat and dog turbo 5000 vacuum cleaner which we bought in December. It has just started blowing air out of the grid on the top of the cleaner instead of sucking from the tube. The whole top section which is opened to change the bags doesn't seem to want to clip down properly either. Do you have any ideas> I'm gutted as it was so good until this happened. Thanks Michelle.

The lid not closing properly is almost certainly the cause of your problem. Without that lid sealed tight to the body you will get no suction through the hose. So, the question is: why isn't the lid clipping down properly? Did you just change the bag ... Vacuums

My NuTone built in central vacuum is putting dirt out instead of picking it up. We have just changed the bag.

From the information here, it sounds like you do not have any suction. If this happened at the same time you replaced the bag, I'm guessing that the unit did not seal when you put it back together. Make sure the bag is seated like it should be and th ... Broan-NuTone CV350 Performance Bagged Central System Vacuum

I opened the cannister to change the bag and when I closed it the motor switch will not turn on. The second position which turns on the attachment for rugs still comes on. We thougth it was the switch so we ordered the part and it is still doing the same thing. Is there a reset button somewhere inside? The only reset button I see is on the attachment which is working.

It can be a few things. First check the overload protector located on top of the canister. If it has tripped the unit will not run. Push it in to reset. \015\012If that is the problem check the motor safety filter to see if it is clogged and caused t ... Hoover U6437-900 / U6439-900 Windtunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum
