Model issues and repair guidance
For the compact upholstery head, check the fabric surface is not sealing the movable inlet before judging roller speed. Test it off the fabric with known hose suction, clear the rotating neck and turbine chamber, then remove thread from the short roller and end supports. If the turbine whistles but the roller remains still, inspect the enclosed belt and drive gear. An inlet plate that sticks at one angle needs its pivots and seal serviced, not a vacuum battery or cord.Test off the fabric with known hose suction, then clear rotating neck, movable inlet, turbine, short roller, and ends. A whistling turbine with still brush points to belt or gear. Angle-sensitive plate sticking belongs to pivots and seal, not vacuum power.
