How to Fix a Clogged Vacuum and Restore Suction Power

hi I'm Michael and welcome to ultimate tech hub today we're gonna fix this vacuum this vacuum is a work it's a nice vacuum I've been using it for a couple years now and today I was trying to vacuum the carpet I noticed that was making the beautiful lines of fluff in the carpet up so another roll was working but nothing's getting picked up I was seed dirt and dust it would tumble it but it wouldn't pick it up so something wrong something is not getting sucked up into the vacuum bag so we're gonna fix that today all right I just finished vacuuming the floor and I look around and I see this vacuum something picking anything up it's got all the particles on the floor the carpets fluffy but carpet is dirty still so uh sticks it ok look on the side of the vacuum there's the roller it's pretty dirty probably don't clean that up a little bit we're gonna double screws off here and get inside here find out what's clogging it up and as always make sure cords unplug so there's only two screws holding this bracket in one on the right and one on the left there Phillips heads come out rather easy [Music] and this pops from right out to there's no stuff here is trash oh it looks dirty I'll clean that up too if I wash it down real good let's not lose the screws they're right there and I found the culprit rollers fine though it looks likes going on here isn't here inside this part here is really bad so we're gonna do is we're gonna unclog that it's gonna be a pretty simple I can apply use a screwdriver of some sort is to dig that out and that should free everything up it's a pretty simple fix but it's no wonder that any of the stuff would not come out it was just good stock because it stopped right here just wouldn't go anywhere okay as you can see it is totally clogged to the top and that goes pretty far back to where the tube is so we're gonna have to remove all that stuff and get it all out there and there's a close-up of that dump pretty nasty stuff can't imagine what's really in there but it's pretty gross all right here we go let's dig this out oh yeah look at that massive clog that's part of why the vacuum is not picking anything up [Music] way back there pull this out a little bit [Music] [Music] so I found this back scratcher Don't Tell the life I'm using this that's perfect to get down inside and get on stuff pull that out Oh Eve hit paydirt wonder why it was not working outside still more in there okay the next thing we're going to try using a hanger maybe one of these sides here to kind of go around a corner to pull that last little piece out of junk there's some in the back here I can't quite get to it straight nice so I'm going to go ahead and clean the roller get some of that hair and debris off of there not all of it but just a good cleaning and that way you know better on the carpet I'll put that bracket back on the wait let me wipe down the vacuum first and look brackets all clean there I washed it and it was some soap and water and it's it's all clean so looks pretty [Music] alright I'm gonna go and make sure there's no more debris just double-check it before we give anything back together so just making sure it's good to gain excess out there [Music] okay if a little more dirt in there it's time to put on the Brecht make sure this roller it's down in here nicely it's gonna be snug there you go it's no like flats and yet when you put this in see then I'll just put the screws on [Music] then there's one here perfect now will simple it back together and we'll give it a shot we'll see how it does on dirt and grime [Music] [Music] okay you can see the bag that's filling a pull of air so we know that suctions coming through now before it wasn't doing that okay we're all done bathrooms clean fixed works the floor is clean now it took about ten minutes to get this done it was pretty clogged but not that's so bad that I couldn't get it undone so normally if you took this to like a shop they'd charge you 25 30 bucks to fix this all took me 10 minutes a back scratcher maybe an even a clothes hanger pulled all the lint down and dirt no it was perfect so thank you for watching hit like subscribe it share it comment on it I want to talk to you guys thanks again for watching
