Possible malfunctions of vacuum cleaners
We all want our household appliances to serve us as long as possible. Everyone agrees to put a few hundred more on the iron / vacuum cleaner / kettle, only if we are guaranteed that this thing will last longer and will not break. And the whole feature of technology is that its long service life depends not only on the quality of the material and the conscience of the manufacturer.
Depending on how you handle the equipment, the expiration date will also be regulated. In order for your vacuum cleaner to serve you as long as possible, it is worth remembering a couple of simple things - you need to clean the device on time, and if the vacuum cleaner already has malfunctions, it is better not to repair them yourself, or be extremely careful. The main thing is to understand the reason for the difficulties in the operation of equipment. We will talk about this further.
Why the vacuum cleaner does not suck in air well
This problem is the most common, and at the same time the simplest. The reasons for this problem are easily eliminated. Before running to the service center, make sure that the vacuum cleaner is really set to the required power and use the regulator to remove this problem.
There is also an option that the dust collector is full and poor air intake when the motor is on is just a sign that it is time to clean the vacuum cleaner. The bag must be changed in a timely manner! Before removing the bag, unplug the vacuum cleaner and only then clean it. Remember that you cannot use a vacuum cleaner that does not have such a bag installed, because this can lead to damage of a more serious type.
Also, the reason for poor air intake when the engine is turned on can be clogged dust filters for the engine, air ducts, an exhaust filter, a hose, deformed seals and gaskets, and a lack of tightness of the connection between the hose and the body.
Why the vacuum cleaner does not collect garbage
If your vacuum cleaner draws in air well, and refuses to collect debris, then you should move the brush roller in height. The positions of this very roller are set depending on the surface to be cleaned. So just tilt the vacuum cleaner back slightly and voila! The roller is adjusted. It is possible that your brush roller has served you faithfully for too long, and has worn out quite enough. Just replace it and vacuum to your health.
If, after such capital measures, the problem persists, try checking the drive belts. Perhaps the defect lies there. In this case, you will have to replace them and the vacuum cleaner will again perform its direct duties.
Why does the vacuum cleaner stink
This breakdown is also fairly common. The reason for this inconvenience may be the same filled dust bag. If so, then your vacuum cleaner needs cleaning. And if you use a special air conditioner for dust collectors in the future, then an unpleasant smell can be avoided in the future.
If the smell does not appear during the cleaning process, but after, and looks like the stench of burnt rubber, it is possible that the wire belt slips when the vacuum cleaner is in operation. This process occurs as a result of the partially blocked bearing restricting the rotation of the vacuum cleaner's brush roller. In this case, you just need to remove the roller and clean this bearing. Or you need to replace the drive belt with a new one ...
Why the vacuum cleaner makes noise and vibrates
Most often, this problem occurs in old upright vacuum cleaners. It is connected with a fan malfunction. The process of replacing such a part is rather dreary and expensive, so you may be offered a cheaper option - buying a new vacuum cleaner. The second reason for the increased vibration of the vacuum cleaner can be the wear of the roller bearings.In this case, the process of replacing the bearings will not be difficult if the roller is equipped with removable end caps. If your vacuum cleaner does not have such privileges, then you will have to change the entire roller.
Why does the vacuum cleaner not turn on
Human fears are associated with this problem - the vacuum cleaner has broken down! Throw out money again! But there is a simpler solution, very common and then funny. Are you sure you plugged the vacuum cleaner into the outlet? Then, perhaps, the outlet itself is de-energized? Basically, this is what is the reason for the inoperative state of the vacuum cleaner.
But seriously, the possible reason for such a malfunction is a break or malfunction of the power cord. Or a fuse has blown. For newer vacuum cleaners, another option is possible. Perhaps your vacuum cleaner is equipped with an overcurrent thermal switch. When the engine overheats, the thermal switch is triggered and the vacuum cleaner stops working. There are several reasons for overheating: a clogged filter, a clogged air duct, a full dust bag. All these troubles can be easily eliminated.
Safety rules for use
Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE And a few words about the safety of using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use the device if its body is cracked. This threatens you with electric shocks. If the cord burst or cracked, there is no grounding - it is better not to work with such a vacuum cleaner. This is all also traumatic. You should not put things in order in very loose clothing, as well as in clothing made of synthetic materials. Keep fingers, hair, jewelry and small parts away from the retracting part and working parts. When cleaning stairs, place the vacuum cleaner one step below the one you are standing on. And remember, reading the instructions is a guarantee of complete safety of use and a long service life of the vacuum cleaner in the fight against dust!
