Dirt Devil cannister

[filterqueen83]

Please help me. I need a replacement little hose at this area or a tip on how to make it work better. It was not ever glued it or anything it seems like the spring that seperated the hose just got worn out. Does anyone have and hose this size or a donor I can buy from you.

Thanks

this is what I have done

I soaked it in brake fluid for a few minutes to make it more pliable. I may not have done it long enough and stretched it a bit. It seems to have decent suction but when you put the handle up it comes out as you can see from above.

You could always try some clear silicone sealant. The stuff that comes in a tube like toothpaste. It dries like stretchy pliable rubber and is sticky as all get out before it dries. Make sure you've cleaned the hose end and the part on the vac where you are basically glueing it to.
Don't 2nd guess and think it's dry in 5 hrs.. ensure it dries for a day or overnight.

I think DD still uses that powernozzle on one of their current canisters... the part you need may still be available...

Nice to see you here, Matt. Glad you got it OK... Hope you get it fixed right. Did you get the Kenmore canister or the Eureka Bravo too?

No bravo yet.

I am thinking tomorrow.
