I Have A Crosswave And Stopped Working When It Sucked Up Part Of A Rug. Is There

The very first thing you need to check is the bag or cylinder on your vacuum cleaner. If it's full, there will be no suction. Just remove the old bag or take out the cylinder and empty it before replacing with a fresh bag. Switch on the vacuum cleaner to see if it picks up dirt and dust. Replacing the bag before it's completely full keeps the vacuum cleaner running more efficiently and puts less strain on the motor so your machine will last longer.

If there's ample suction but the machine won't pick up material, check the hose for blockages. Disconnect the hose from the vacuum cleaner and inspect it for any cracks or holes. If any are found, use duct tape to repair them - it might not look great, but it does the job! Where there's a blockage in the vacuum cleaner, clean it out by pushing a long, thin object like a broom handle through the entire length of thre hose. You can then reconnect the hose and try the vacuum again. It's worth checking the hoses a few times every year for cracks or splits.
