How to Replace a Vacuum Cleaner Belt?
Is your brush roll working efficiently?
Does your vacuum make more noise than before?
In order to repair your vacuum cleaner's belt, you'll need a screwdriver and the replacement belt.
STEP 1. After confirming that your vacuum is unplugged, turn your vacuum onto its back so that the base of the cleaner is facing you.
STEP 2. Locate the belt. Almost all upright vacuums have the belt in the same place, but if you’re not sure, you can find the brush roll and follow along its length until you see the belt.
STEP 3. Remove the plate and the brush roll. You’ll need to unhook the old belt to do this.
STEP 4. Hook the new belt around the spindle that attaches to the motor.
STEP 5. Clean the debris from the roller.
STEP 6. Now replace the cleaned brush roll, making sure that the new belt is still attached to the motor spindle.
STEP 7. Before replacing the plate that holds that brush roll in place, check that there aren’t any individual clips or screws that need to be tightened to lock to the roller in place. Secure the plate and plugin to test.
