One of the most common vacuum cleaner problems is a belt malfunction or a broken belt. It's usually relatively simple to open up a vacuum to check the condition of its belt, though you may want to check whether this will void the warranty before you start tinkering. If the vacuum belt is indeed broken, remove it and bring it to to the manufacturer or an authorised retailer for a replacement.
Another common source of vacuum problems is the agitator brush, which touches the floor and helps pick up the debris. Items like hair or string can get caught and tangled in the brush and prevent the brush head from spinning. Cleaning the brushes often will help avoid this problem.
On top of general wear and tear over time, vacuum cleaner motors can also be damaged by moisture. If enough water is sucked into a machine not rated for wet-cleaning, it damages the motor, causing a permanent reduction in suction power. Replacing a motor is often more expensive then buying an all-new vacuum cleaner.
