Brushroll bearings? i m guessing when the vacuum is pushed forward the brushroll comes in contact with the carpet and it rattles. Just a guess.. | ||

The end caps on the brushroll may be broken maybe its time to get a new brushroll. | ||

the brushroll is brand new, and it still makes the noise when I lift the headlight off the nozzle. Im gonna get some foam tape and put it on where it meets the fan housing. Only a Tiny bit thought, so it dosent look stupid. | ||

Rattling...
Morgan, You are on the right track... ...I may be incorrect; however, I believe it may actually be the (4) four tabs the brushroll slips into (2) two on each end. They may & should be slightly bent inward to tighten the fit for the brushroll end caps. (imho) Hope this helps. email if add'l help is needed. hagd all Bill | ||

A loud vibration rattle has also developed on my Legend II.
It's not Roller Bearings; the Roller is brand new. I tightened the Roller Support Tabs (bent them inward); no difference. Checked & adjusted roller height; no difference. Checked Motor Casing 'O'-Ring Gasket where the Brushroll Head meets it; all present & correct. Swivel Turnbutton is very tight; gripping head securely. Headlight is very tight; it wouldn't vibrate. Now I'm replacing the rectangular Rug-Plate Felt Gasket. | ||

Kirbfan94,
I solved my Kirby nozzle rattle. Thought I'd share the solution in case it helps. The problem was in fact, in three areas. Rugplate rattle. New gasket helped, but deep vibration persisted. One End support brackets needed squeezing slightly tighter. Main problem: New Brushroll's height was out. (I thought it was okay). Needed 2 1/2 undo turns on each end-screw to retract roller slightly. Hope it helps. | ||
