Ian,
The whole vacuum may not need to be totally disassembled and cleaned. If there was a filter installed underneath the bag, the fans and motor are probably fine. Check the hose for blockages. I had co-worker who thought her Windtunnel was dead because it shut off and would not power back on. Turns out, it was a very bad blockage in the hose and the terminal protector caused the motor to shut off to prevent damage. Also, check the Windtunnel ducts in the agitator cavity for blockages. Hope this helps. I’ve never completely disassembled one of these. Let us know how it works out. Kenny |

Here is a video that shows how to replace the actuator arm from a website I found. There is also a video on foot pedal replacement as well as belt replacement. Hope these help you.
