Eureka F&G upright problems |

I have started using a Eureka ESP upright, model 2330 to clean our church because it picks up more dirt than any other vacuum I have tried. the problem is that it constantly burns up the belt. with a brand new belt I can vacuum for about 20 minutes and then the belt needs to be replaced because the brush is stalling even on flat carpet. when i change the belt, everything is turning smoothly. the brush strips are pretty worn but still work(it has the vibra groomer 2 brushroll in it) it just seems like the belts should last longer than they are. before I started cleaning, i was letting the person that cleaned the church use it because she hated the vacuums that the church had, and the belts were lasting about a month. why is this happening? I also have a Eureka 1934 that is basically brand new that doesnt have very good suction and I cant figure out why. the fan is fine, and its not clogged. the 2330 has the 6.5 amp motor and the 1934 has the 5 amp motor. THANK YOU!

What condition is the belt pulley in? If it's getting thin, belts will heat up and break quickly. | ||

Belt Pulley. I recommend changing the belt pulley, this is a common issue. I cannot tell you how many I've replaced. | ||

I just switched the pulley with the one from my 1934 and that is DEFINETLY the problem! the pulley was really worn when I compared them, and when I tried to vacuum with it it worked better than it has in the entire time i have had it! im going to order the pulley, a new fan, new brush strips, and a new bag tomorrow. thanks everybody!

I don't know for sure.... I am not the Eureka professional. Hit your local vac shop up. | ||

UH OH... the fan doesnt fit! The blades are too tall and they hit the fan casing when I put the motor back on. by my guess the blades are about an eighth of an inch too tall. if anybody wants/ needs one i will sell it for what I paid for it ($1.29) plus shipping (or trade for the right one...!) email me. my email address is kauffmandustin92 AT yahoo DOT com

Wow, that's totally my bad. I'm so used to seeing the higher-amp motors, which take the larger fan (clear). I totally spaced. Sorry. You need the black fan. They're so cheap, I'd be happy to send you one (on me), but I won't be at work for a few days. | ||
