I want to service my KIRBY dual 80's motor. There is play in the belt spindle and fan, and the motor squeals. What is the problem? I think it may be the front bearing. To get to the front bearing, I think I must remove the fan? I have all necessary screws removed from the fan casing, to open it...

You shouldn't have trouble changing the belts. It is a pretty simple process. The belt system on these is fairly bad on these machines IMO. Those belts need to be changed about every 6 months for good performance....

I beg to differ.... Nathaniel, the kirby should do an excellent job cleaning, and they are one of the simplest machines I know of to repair.(as easy if not easier than orecks.)If you think it is not cleaning well check: Brush length, brush adjustment, rug gasket, bag, belt, nozzle seal, and...

I got a self propelled windtunnel ultra for $10. The handle release will not hold the handle up and just kind of moves around, what do I do? Thanks much. Btw, everything SHOULD be dark green.

I successfully replaced the fan. The machine works great! Thanks for all the help!

..... I got mine at a flea land in Bowling Green, KY. They had 3 more I think.

Is.. the power drive cable the little strip that runs down the outside of the motor housing? I assume that is the cable since it then connects to the power drive wheels.

I have the fan off. The new one should arrive in a few days!

How do I take the fan off my heritage 2? I have the fan case open, but I don't know how to remove the fan. Thanks.

I guess... I will replace the power drive belt anyway, as it is sort of dry. Does it use the same power drive belt as the windtunnel s/p? If not, which one does it use?

I got a tan HOOVER power drive upright from (I assume) the mid nineties. Problem is, the power drive only works in reverse. I have never had a power drive hoover, so I don't know how they function. When I recline the handle, and the machine is off, whether the power drive is set to on or off...

Roomba! I got a 400 discovery at a yard sale 2 days ago for 5 dollars. She thought the battery was bad, but its not. The only problem is the wire like brush won't spin, when I remove that brush, its gears will spin, but it won't. Other wise it works perfect.

Does anybody have a tradition with the headlight safety switch? If so , I'd really like to see a picture of that troublesome assembly.

... I opened the motor and got the junk out. Still wondering about liners, bags though.

How do I access the motor cavity on my cb? There is a wasp nest in there that I need to remove. ALso, is there some type of liner that I should use on the outside of the cloth filter? Thank ya much.

f style bags I changed my g3 to f style too, and I love it. Definitely recommend. Got the kit from the vacuum store for 9 dollars with the F style adaptor, zip ties, 2 bags, and instructions.

I'm not crazy! I have these dreams all the time! In one exciting dream, I go to where my grandma grew up. There is a tag sale(even tho no one has died)and my great grandparents are there, even though they died long ago. I go to the bedroom and vacuums are everywhere. The bedroom, however, looks...

Thank You! So MUCH! This is the first time I dealt with a pn2, so I had no clue. I will try to get to the vacuum store and buy the peice this week. Thanks again Dave!!

Hey everybody! I have an issue with my new pn2. There is about an inch gap between the cover and the walls separating the brushroll area and the motor and wiring. THe cover fits snugly and correctly around the outside and neck.I took the cover off and put it back on, still the same problem. It...

KIRBY The kirby generation series are fairly quiet. (So is the heritage2/legend 2 vacuums)Besides that, the sound is a soft, strong sound and is PLEASANT to listen to.
