Is the cleaning head or hose hooked up correctly on the front of the unit??? The Kirby will not run unless there is something hooked up on the front of the vacuum covering the fan blades. Good Luck |

If the Owners Manual is present, read it thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the Kirby and all of its parts,and components, thats always a good first step!
As VacMan1961 said, the Kirby will not operate, unless the front head, hose or other attachment is attached correctly. After swinging the hose end or other attachment, up over the air intake, you need to press down on the left side and then lock the attaching lock. If this dosent work, take the machine to your favorite vacuum repair center. It may need a new safety switch, which is the little switch at the bottom of the air intake that keeps the Omega from operating unless its pressed down. Its not uncommon for These switches will wear out with time. |
