What to do when your Euro Pro canister vacuum isn't suctioning well
A weak suction motor, full vacuum bag, clog in the suction air path, dirty vacuum exhaust filter or leaky vacuum hose can prevent the vacuum cleaner from suctioning well.
Check the collection bag because debris won't get sucked up through the vacuum and into the collection bag efficiently when the bag is full. Empty the bag if it's full.
If your vacuum uses an exhaust filter, a clogged exhaust filter will prevent suction air from flowing through the vacuum efficiently. Check the exhaust filter and replace it if it's dirty.
Check the suction air path for a clog. Debris in the nozzle, hose or an internal pipe in the vacuum can inhibit suction air flow so remove any debris that you find blocking the suction air path.
Holes in the vacuum hose can diminish suction air flow through the nozzle because air gets sucked through hose holes instead of the nozzle. Replace the vacuum hose if it has holes.
Top-selling parts for Euro Pro canister vacuum cleaners
- HEPA filter. The HEPA filter traps dust, pet dander and pollen from exhaust air in the vacuum cleaner.
- Vacuum dust bag. The vacuum dust bag collects the dust and dirt that the vacuum cleaner sucks up.
- Brush roll drive belt. The brush roll drive belt transfers motion between the drive motor pulley and the brush roll.
- Dirt sensor control board. The dirt sensor control board receives signals from the dirt sensor and sends signals to the dirt sensor display to show the amount of dirt being picked up by the vacuum.
