What do you expect from a commercial upright where the bits on it can be changed by the owner and not sent back to the manufacturer?
Sebo X4 brushroll not turning.

I've seen the Espares video and it looks quite straight forward and you probably wont have to change the belts for around 10yrs so it's not a problem. Working on vacuum cleaners is FUN!

It is easy to do yes, but it takes to long for just a belt change, much longer than a flat belt cleaner on a regular machine.
nobody wants to be spending like half an hour changing a belt, granted they would not need to be changed as often, if ever.

Anyway, Hi/LO - did you get it fixed?

I'm still waiting for the belt to arrive.

SEBO vacuums are great and the belt breaking is unlikely to happen. Not a fan of the X series due to the way they look, the brush cannot be turned off and I prefer the Felix as it's more versatile and looks better in my opinion. Never seen a broken belt on a Felix.
It's not hard to change the belt on the X series - I have done it. It does not take half an hour, that's an exaggeration! I think we need to note that it's unlikely that this needs to be done unless there's a fault with the machine!! Once the belt has been obtained, I suggest checking that that servo motor is functioning and lifting the head up and down. Failure of the servo motor can cause strain on the brush drive and breakage of the belt. Again this is rare.
It's pretty clever how these machines go together and take apart just as easily. That computer system may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly is very clever stuff. A vacuum cleaner that tells you it's going up or down, that's it's brush is worn out and even shuts itself down if there is a blockage and allows for immediate use once the blockage has been cleared. Is very unique. Also don't forget that the handle comes away with the power cord for easy replacement if you run over the cord or damage it another way.

It can take up to half an hour if you have never done it before though. Its not just removing screws and lifting things up. I nearly broke the microchip board the first time I ever changed the belt on my parents X1 Auto.

If you have nothing to say that is constructive, don't say anything at all. You obviously have a bee on your bonnet from the last thread we both posted on. Sorry if I annoyed you. Move on.

Anyway, back to the point. Hi-Low, I hope you manage to fit the belt ok and get the machine working fine. Hopefully the servo motor works fine because if it doesnt, then the belt may break again prematurely.
The X4 motor belt part number should be 5463 but the older ones and the X1s will have a 5379 belt from the motor. Yours should definitely have a 5463.
