I assume it turns on and that it "sounds" like it should be working. The owners manual (available here) has some troubleshooting steps.

CLEANER DOES NOT PICK UP

  • Not plugged in properly.
  • No electricity in wall outlet.
  • Filter bag is full.
  • Nozzle or intake pivot clogged.
  • Belt is broken or stretched.
  • Brush is worn.
  • Bag tube clogged.
  • Bag pores are clogged with fine dust.
  • Impeller fan is broken.
  • Revolving brush is not even at both ends.
From that list and your explanation I would think that the nozzle is clogged. If the impeller (rotating fan attached to the motor, usually inside a sealed box) is broken you'll need to take it to a repair shop. The most common issues will be a bad impeller or clogged intake.
