[summary]Your vacuum has a brush roller that is supposed to spin and help lift dirt from the carpet or floor. But you don't hear that familiar whirring sound. When you take a look, they don't turn, or have no power. What is causing this? How do you sort it out? We will get you there.[/summary] | |

** Test the unit, do the rolls spin now? | |
* ***Are your vacuum brushes on a separate vacuum brush head with a hose attached?*** If your unit has this sort of head, but is driven by an air turbine that uses the airflow of the vacuum, rather than an electric motor, skip this and go to the next item. | |
* ***Is your carpet loose?*** It may have stretched since installation, or was improperly stretched at installation. The vacuum can suck loose carpet into the brushes which will stop them. If the carpet clings to your vacuum when you try to lift it, that's a sign of this condition. Consult a floor covering professional. | |
- | If the brush rolls are still not turning go to the next step. If your unit doesn't have a drive belt, like some air turbine driven units, skip all the belt steps below and head down to [[Vacuum Brushes Not Spinning#Section_Air_Turbine_Issues|Air Turbine Issues|new_window=true]]. |

== The Motor Has Failed == | |
- | This is straightforward, and applies mainly to vacuums with power driven brush heads. A few conventional uprights, have two motors, one for the fan, one for the brush roll. If you have dealt with everything mentioned above, it is likely that the motor has failed. Some may have replaceable brushes in the motor, but most will just need a new motor. |
