Model issues and repair guidance

The 24-foot-cord member of this shared bagless upright shell uses an electrostatic HEPA-type exhaust filter and omits the variable handle-power slider. Begin with a dry filter, an empty seated cup, and an open hose. Test at the body inlet to separate restriction from motor output. Nozzle-only loss follows the belt window, brush bearings, and height mechanism; whole-machine shutdown follows the plug, cord, switch, thermal cutout, fan, and motor.Check the cup, net filter, HEPA-type exhaust, 24-foot cord, hose, flat belt, and agitator. Test direct airflow after emptying the cup and fitting dry filters; preserved suction moves the diagnosis to roller, belt, and nozzle rather than the body motor.
