The pedal or part of the body where the pedal catches at are probably broken or worn
SOURCE: Dirt Devil vacuum Release pedal not working
take off the bottom like you are replacing the belt. You will find a little metal clip that controls the upright lock. It may be lose or broken.
SOURCE: Foot Pedal was knocked out of alignment
You will have to take the top loose so you can put the handle release in its place. It probably isn't in the right place, either that or a piece of it broke off and it needs to be replaced.
SOURCE: handle wont go to upright position
The red pedal has slipped out of position. On both ends of the red pedal you'll see metal rods (the axel of the pedal). On one side you'll see the metal rod sits into a long groove, on the other side you'll see the metal rod sits into a round hole. They both have to be in the long grooves so you have to reposition the rod that's into the round hole by pulling it out and sliding it back into the long groove above the round hole. You'll now be able to bring the handle up and lock the machine back into the upright position.
SOURCE: My Hoover Z 400 collapsible vacuum won't lock in
this just happened to me. i took the vacuum completely apart and found that there is a locking plastic "tooth". this had snapped off but still it the track. the damage was bad but i was able to wash of all the lube off it and used a 2 part epoxy glue to put the tooth back into place. it works ok now. Not like new but it will hold. this was sorta easy but i enjoy fixing things. If your not handy i wouldnt recommend you try it. i am in the process to making an aluminum version of the tooth so it wont break again.

how do you remove the air duct (plastic sliding piece) that is making the vacuum stay in locked upright p[position?
