Kirby G6 question

[veroroger]

I have a G6 with the fill tube which flattens out quite a bit when the machine is upright. I'm assuming this flattening is still there in use altho the machine still works perfectly. Is this normal?

replace the tube

Hi you are due for a new fill tube,this part should not get flat at any time.

thanks

Richard,
I suspected something was not right there but wanted to hear it from someone other than the local vac repair shops. Will have to go this week to check on if they have this and what it costs. Is this something difficult to replace?
