One of my Royal metal uprights ate its broken belt--made the LOUDEST "SCREEEIINNG" you ever heard!The peices of the belt were in the dump bag!!Vac OK otherwise!!The sound made me jump out of my skin!Shows how tough these vacs are.Could other upright direct vacuums eat their own belts?? | ||

sounds like the belt is jammed between the fan and fan housing, completely fixable! | ||

Shouldn't be too difficult
This is a metal hand vac, right? The URL link below is to a parts diagram that shows the machine in an 'exploded' view. Perhaps that will help you see how to get in there to get the bits of belt out. Just make sure you've got everything out of there and the motor shaft is turning freely before you before you button things up.

It made a screaming noise too! I'm glad it's fixable, because it has powerful suction. | ||

Well the good news is, I got it fixed. But the motor sounds kind of weird. It does not sound smooth like it used to. The guy told me that next time it happens to not turn it back on. I made the mistake of turning it back on. | ||

Well I played with it more and more, and it is just the belt and the brush that made it sound like that. The vacuum is still fine. It still has the strong suction. | ||
