Have you checked the drive belt? Is the motor running at its normal speed? If so It could be a possible blockage

in the pipe behind the brush that carries the dust up to the bag/container

If the motor is running slow or smelling, you may need a new motor/ vac

I could be wrong but I assume modern vacuum cleaners, and pretty much all appliances for that matter, will not be "punter repairable" as it were; all sealed units and specialist tools required ect. It will probably need to be sent to the manufacturer for repair.

I would never think of sending a vac back to the manufacturer for repair The carriage cost alone would go a long way to buying a new vac. As far as

specalist tools are concerned these usually boil down to screws/bolts with strange

heads. screw driver bits are readilly available for these

It would only be worthwhile for one of the top end vacuum's like a Dyson or a Gtec AirRam.

It may be that the wiring has become disconnected. I had a vacuum cleaner that stopped working and the place on West Street suggested I had it serviced at which point they could try and identify the fault.

Before I went down that route I followed the cabling from the plug to where it was connected inside the casing. One of the wires had become loose and separated from the connector so that was a few pounds saved.

Modern vacuums are amongst the easiest punter repairable domestic appliances around.

Filter? If these get clogged with dust it's enough to reduce suction.

Check the brushes are going round, if not the belt has broken.

If you discover no blockages, and no broken belt, you probably need a new motor. Normally the sign is the vacuum won't pick anything up. Sometimes you discover there is a slight change in the sound of the motor from how it used to sound. New motor required.

Time to buy a new one.
