REPAIR & SERVICE

When you’re serious about keeping your surroundings spotless, your vacuum cleaner is one of the most used tools in your household. A quality vacuum cleaner should last through at least 10 years of regular use. However, even when you have one of the best vacuum cleaner models that money can buy, parts can wear down and break, leading to a need for replacement, servicing and repair. Your machine works tirelessly to pick up dust, dirt and allergens from carpet, hardwood floors, furniture and other hard to reach corners and crevices in your home. If the vacuum breaks down and you’re thinking about dragging it out to the curb, consider whether or not troubleshooting the appliance is a viable option instead. You can either troubleshoot it yourself or take it to an appliance repair shop and have a technician do it for you. If your vacuum isn’t working the way it should, use the following steps to see if you can maintain and repair it yourself.

Vacuum Cleaner Repair and Maintenance Tips

To keep your vacuum cleaner working like new for as long as possible, it’s important to take good care of it with regular maintenance services.

No matter which brand manufacturer model vacuum you own, performing regular maintenance checks ensures that every part of your vacuum is in working order. It also gives you an early indication of when your automatic upright or other vacuum will need repairs or supplies.

Clean the filters, bags or canisters

Clean the filters, bags or canisters

If your vacuum isn’t picking up dust and debris as well as it used to, lack of suction is the issue. Check the filter to make sure it is clean. If it is not, clean or replace each one. Empty the vacuum canister or replace the bag if it is full of dust.

Check the hose

Check the hose

Examine the vacuum hose to ensure it’s not being blocked by an object. This drastically reduces the suction power of the appliance.

Clean the beater bar or brushroll

Clean the beater bar or brushroll

The beater bar or brushroll rotates and helps the vacuum pick up debris deep in carpet fibers. The brush is easily clogged with pet hair & can stop spinning properly because if it. Clean the bar thoroughly until it is free of all trapped debris.

Issues that Require Professional Vacuum Repair Support

If you’ve tried to self-diagnose and repair your vacuum with no results, the next step is paying a visit to a reliable vacuum repair service provider who can get your appliance working once again. Common problems that require service by a professional vacuum repair specialist include:

If the vacuum doesn’t turn on at all, the problem is likely the on/off switch, the electrical cord or internal wiring. No matter the root cause, this type of repair is best left to a professional since it involves handling electrical components.

If the vacuum beater bar stops spinning but it is not clogged with debris, the problem likely involves the drive belts. If this is the case, the problem belt will either need to be tightened or replaced, with either step requiring disassembly.

The motor is the heart of your vacuum and what gives it the suction power that makes it a lean, mean floor cleaning machine. Motor repair is complicated, delicate and best left in the hands of a professional.

Choosing a Vacuum Repair Service Provider

To find the best service provider for your Dyson repair, Eureka vacuum repair or repair of other vacuum brands, you should pay close attention to two specific factors.

How reputable is the repair service provider?

You want your vacuum to be repaired properly, don’t want to overpay for the service and want the entire process to be as pleasant as possible.

This makes it important to find a service provider who can deliver in all of these areas. A shop with an excellent reputation that provides exceptional customer service and only uses genuine parts to repair vacuums is the best choice. And if they provide a guarantee on their work, that’s even better.

At Blow’s Sew-n-Vac we can offer exactly that. We have 3 full time technicians on staff, who have been trained by the manufacturers on all the brands we carry.

How much will the vacuum repair job cost?

Repairing a vacuum that would be cheaper to replace doesn’t make a lot of sense. Before the repair service provider begins the process to fix a vacuum cleaner, you should always ask for an estimate of how much the repairs will likely cost.

This lets you decide up front whether or not going ahead with the repair job is a good idea. Need to have your vacuum cleaner diagnosed and repaired?

Why is regular servicing essential for your sewing machine?

A sewing machine comprises numerous intricate components, all of which require proper lubrication for optimal performance. In today’s advanced machines, many moving parts are integrated with computer circuitry, making them inaccessible to the average home sewer. To ensure the longevity of your machine and address areas beyond your reach, it’s crucial to enlist the expertise of a factory-trained technician who can open up the machine for thorough servicing.

For peak performance and prolonged sewing enjoyment, we recommend an annual service for your sewing machine. In the interim, there are several proactive measures you can take to maintain its optimal condition:

Sewing Machine Performance Tips

Sewing - Repair

Use the right needle

Choose the appropriate needle for your project and change it every four hours of sewing or after completing each project, as the needle is often the root cause of many sewing issues.
 
The beater bar won’t spin

Use quality thread

Opt for good-quality thread to avoid excess lint buildup, which necessitates more frequent cleanings.

The motor stops working

Select specific bobbins

Use bobbins designed for your machine, ensuring tight winding of bobbin thread with no loose threads.

Sewing - Repair

Avoid sewing over pins

Sewing over pins can lead to needle breakage, potential damage to the hook, or the risk of needle fragments flying towards you.

Clean the beater bar or brushroll

Frequent bobbin area cleaning

Regularly clean the bobbin area, preferably every other project or more frequently when working with high-lint materials.

Clean the filters, bags or canisters

Avoid canned air

Refrain from using canned air on your machine, as it may push lint further into the machine and introduce moisture, potentially causing corrosion or damage to circuit boards.
