20 Most Recent Eureka 5893AVZ Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum Questions & Answers

usually if a connection gets hot enough to start melting it is usually a loose connection or high current. more than likely the switch is bad if you replace it with the same type of switch and it gets hot check the motor. make sure it is clean and isn't jammed

if the belt is loose the motor wont run just a guess

check the belt on the brushbar is not broke click the link below for the manual ,that will give you full instructions how to replace it ,,,,,,,,,http://www.eureka.com/FileLibrary/d9d3256193114e4a96be2cf719fd5bed/74227.pdf

Same thing happened to me. I checked the owner's manual and it turns out the Eureka Envirovac has a built-in thermal cut-off switch. So anytime the motor gets too hot, it just shuts down. Most of the time this is because it gets plugged or the filter is too dirty. In my case, the dust basket thingy and filter were clogged beyond belief. Probably would help to clean that more regularly in hindsight. Supposedly it will turn back on after the recommended 30 minute wait.

You might need to clean out the roller brush. Here is the manual that has instructions:

If you need a new belt you can get it here:

Eureka style D belt

I Have the same problem. It is the end of the brush roller opposite the belt end. It binds up and gets hot, then melts the plastic piece on the end of the brush roller. Have to order a new brush roll which is about $20-$25+shipping

The canister has a filter as well. It needs to be replaced or cleaned. A damaged canister filter will feed dirt into the HEPA filter. (and the motor)
An improperly installed filter can allow dirt to bypass the canister filter and collect in the HEPA filter.
I suggest a new canister filter and then clean it carefully every week.
Here is a list of the filters for your vacuum.

No, it is not normal for the brushroll to stop that often. You may need to clear any thread, etc from the brushroll underneath the vacuum. Remove the screws from bottom of unit, stand unit upright, turn height adjustment dial to either side to allow hood to come off. Check the belt for any stress marks, stretching, etc. Replace the belt if necessary.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about my Bissel but I bet you have the same problem and the hose is clogged...

Not sure if this will help, but this is how my problems began, then I noticed the handle getting very warm. This went on for a few weeks (used the vacuum maybe 4 times).
Eventually, the handle got hotter and hotter, and finally it just quit. When handle was disassembled, the wires were melted and it was toast. Ordered a switch after talking to several repair men. Talked to Eureka, too, and they were absolutely no help. Cheap wiring and switch made in China. Good luck trying to find a switch. vacuum-depot.com has switches, so you might try there, but make sure you get the 3-prong switch (same switch used on Eureka's Genesis). It is Part #27871.
