Vacuum has No Suction

Has your vacuum started to lose its suction? In most cases lose of suction is caused by dirty filters or clogged hoses & ports. Finding some of these filters can be tricky. Many of the filters can go unnoticed by users until the vacuum completely stops working and needs service. Or the filters are never found and the vacuum is replaced shortly after the time of purchase.

Luckily Full Throttle Repairs is here to help! On most units, every filter (Besides the HEPA filter) can be cleaned with warm water. First take all the filters and dirt storage containers off your vacuum. Like mentioned earlier some filters are hard to find. So check your owners manual for reference that way no filters are missed. If your like many of us, your owners manual has never been opened and was thrown away with the box. No worries, type your model number followed by “owners manual”, or “Service manual” (ex. M132U4 Service Manual) in a Google Search. Next carefully and thoroughly rinse your filters and containers with warm water until clean. On some pieces, dish soap can be used to remove odors and tough build up. Let all the clean filters and pieces thoroughly dry over night or longer. Drying is extremely important! moisture attracts dirt, causing a mud build up that can be difficult to remove. Next replace your HEPA filter or knock it a few times against a hard surface outside. After everything is dry reassemble your vacuum and your done.

If cleaning the filters does not improve suction you may have a clogged hose. Clearing clogged hoses and tubes can be a pain. Sometimes you can clear clogs by fully extending to tube and lightly shaking the hose while the machine is running. Do not try to force anything down the tube, this will just cause more damage. In most cases its easier to take your vacuum to a professional technician to remove hose clogs.
