I'm just using a belt made by Electropart BLT017 until my order comes from Amazon. I have to admit though I do think I have some other problem. :-/ Andrew | ||

 Savo, Make sure you are using a genuine belt that has a treaded pattern (not smooth) on the inside of it.
How are you adjusting the cleaning height of the nozzle? It sounds to me like you might have it too low. To adjust it correctly, you should raise it all the way to the top, then lower it one notch at a time until you hear a change in motor sound as the brushroll contacts the carpet, then lower it one more notch and you will be at the correct cleaning height for your carpet. | ||

This link to the Ultimate G video (Also applies to Diamond or any another model in the G-Series) This Video will teach you about replacement parts and adjusting the brush and replacement parts. I Think the previous owner Most likely move the brush contact numbers all the way down as the brush hasn't worn down enough yet try moving it to either one or two.

OK so I'm embarrassed that I even started this thread. The Kirby is working fine now that I have the correct genuine belt installed. The non genuine belts work with my old Heritage but from now on I will make sure I keep new genuine spare belts in the drawer Thanks for the replies Andrew | ||
