we have (had) a Kirby Heritage 2 at our church and I thought I was the only one that used it... Long story short, I went to use it and it didnt work at all, except for the little orange light on the top of it (the headlight is burned out). So I brought it home and took it apart and nothing is jammed, plugged, or broken and the motor turns freely. can anybody tell me what else could be the problem? Thank you!

no,Clayton,but I think part of the problem is the people that use the vacuums in the churches! tonight I was there helping with our community meal and I could hear the lady that does most of the cleaning vacuuming with the Eureka I donated to the church and it sounded like she was vacuuming up marbles with it...

Hello Dustin, It may be the 'metal lever' in the front switch is slightly bent as well. Is it intermittent when using the hose as well as the nozzle? I have NOT seen it mentioned that the carbon brushes were ruled out, just the slightest movement of the pulley/fan could cause it to behave erratically if the brushes are going bad. You would be more than welcome to call me or email me if you need additional assistance. Just let me know. hagd all Bill |

Hey Dustin, You are more than welcome, glad that took care of the problem. (I do think that was the same thing James was infering as well. [[ I gathered at first he meant the 'actual switch' vs. the 'lever', when now re-read I think we both meant the same thing. ]] So I believe I should NOT accept full credit for solving the issue.) Thank you James. hagd all Bill |
