Chapter 6: Vacuum Cleaner Maintenance (Pacvac Superpro 700 Corded)
What is happening with the vacuum?
1: Motor doesn't start:
-
It is very likely that one of the cables is broken.
Anchor 1
1st: Check if:
- The cable is properly connected to the body and if the short cable is properly connected to the long one.
- Turn the vacuum on again (make sure it is connected to the power point on the wall without any other extension cords.
- You can also check a different power point.
If 1st step doesn't work, let's check it the long cable is broken:
- Disconnect the long from the short cable (see video), plug straight to the wall and turn the vacuum on.
- If it works now, the long cable will need to be replaced.
- If it still doesn't work, the problem is possibly with the short cable.
2: Motor starts, but it is not sucking properly / motor overheating
-
It is probably stuck with something big inside the Hose/Pipe/Handle
Anchor 2
1st: Check if:
- There is nothing stuck inside the vacuum head.
- To do that disconnect the head from the pipe and check for unwanted objects stuck inside it. (see video)
2nd: Nothing inside the head, check now:
- Check if there is something inside the metal pipe
- To do that disconnect the pipe from the head and the handle. (see video)
3rd: Nothing inside the head and pipe, check now:
- Check if there is something inside the handle.
- To do that disconnect the handle from the hose (see video). Some vacuum editions may require a screw driver or some object to disassemble this part.
4th: Nothing inside the head, pipe and handle, check now:
- Check if there is something stuck inside the hose (see video).
- If you can't see all the way inside the hose even using your cellphone flashlight, you can clean one end of the hose or hold it around the edge with your hand and blow to feel if the air is going through without any resistance.
IMPORTANT: Never breathe any air coming from inside the hose, BLOW ONLY.
