| Sometimes the drive belt is still connected, and the brush roll may still turn a bit as long as it isn't touching anything. It stops very readily though, and won't turn when vacuuming. | |
| - | * First step |
| + | * First step: ***replace the belt***; it could be just stretched. |
| * Check to see that the brush roll is rotating in the right direction. | |
| ** This can easily happen with some uprights that use a belt with a twist, the brush roll will be sweeping things away from the inlet! | |
| * Air turbine driven brushes are affected by a plugged hose. Since full airflow is needed for them to work best, they will stop much more easily when there is a clog in the vacuum hose. Check your whole hose for clogs when the brushes seem to lack power or stop. | |
| * Turbine driven brushes are very sensitive to hair wrapped around a bearing, you may have to disassemble your unit further. | |
