Kirby Sentria 2 burning smell (not belt)

Actually it can. If the machine has a defect but the good news is that is has a 3 year warranty. Take it to a Kirby authorized repair shop not a vac and sew and they will fix it right up....I am a factory authorized service tech for the Kirby co.

Remove & replace handle release lever on hoover model U6445, s/n 039900015686

From under the vacuum, there is a tab release that you need to pry out the old part. At this point, based on your serial nuimber, your vac is over 10 years old and may also need the base. The bracket is part of the base and not expensive, but the replacement is involved. Once the vac is disassembled, other things may need to be replaced.

I have aKirby Diamand series 4 years old

Reason number 1 (not sure why Kirby Co. still has not fixed it) -improperly installed outer bag. You have to push the bag all the way tothe unit so it presses the safety switch that is between exhaust andthe vacuum shell

Reason 2 - defective cord - try wiggling it. Ifyou know how to do it - try removing cord and supplying power directlyto the unit using another cord or wire (ONLY if you know how to workwith electricity.If you get zapped - do not blame me)

Reason 3 - bad power switch (instructions on how to replace it HERE)

Reason 4 (very unlikely) - motor KAPUT

Good Luck

Wattage rating for Kirby Ultimate G

Wattage rating for Kirby Ultimate G
Posted by avhawaii on May 19, 2008
Does anyone know what the wattage is on a Kirby Ultimate G? I'm moving to the UK and need to know what size transformer to buy! Thanks

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. My suggestion is that you contact the Kirby Co in Cleveland listed below and they will instruct you on the wattage and also what you need for a transformer, or look underneath the vacuum and there should be a sticker stating the amps and maybe the watts, but also the information may be in the owner’s manual or they will mail one out to you, there might be a local Kirby dealer in your area that might have a manual as well. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

How to install kirby vaccum belts

Take the noozle off of the vac. take out the brush roll and old belt, put the belt over the brush roll and re-instal in the noozle. Turn the big square knob on the front os far as you can, it will lock in that position, then put it back on the vac and lock it down, then turn the knob the other way to release the belt unto the belt pulley.
