Eureka AirSpeed Bagless Zuum: Can I take apart the cyclone and wash it?

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 09:42:41 -0700

I want to take the cyclone apart and wash it because it's jam packed with a very fine dust. Also I am trying to eliminate fleas and need it to be very clean before taking it back inside. I know I can wash the screen and the filter but I can't seem to find info on the cyclone. I called the helpline and they were uninformed, apathetic and not helpful at all. Pls help!!

Eureka Vacuum: Brush roller keeps spinning in selector's hose position

Fri, 31 May 2024 10:36:10 -0700

With the floor/hose selector in “hose” position and the vacuum upright, the brush roller keeps spinning, threatening to overheat the motor and thermal cutoff occurs. I cleaned every accessible part of the vacuum (already clean and unobstructed) and repaired a small felt piece that cushions the roller against the bottom plate near the drive belt. The belt seems fine.

The brush roller is supposed to be still when the vacuum is in the upright position and “hose” is selected. How to repair?

Eureka Vacuum: brush roller only turns when vacuum is raised off the floor

Sat, 31 Aug 2019 08:05:03 -0700

Eureka EasyClean 71C: Riser visor slows brushes in standard position

Sun, 26 May 2019 13:48:28 -0700

Love this vacuum, but noticed the brush making a click when first starting. I cleaned the brushes and in the process of doing so, noticed that the brushes run full speed when I have the riser visor in the upright position (as if you were cleaning the sides of stairs), but slows or stops when I move it back to the floor cleaning position.

I removed the visor and checked that the spacer was seated correctly. Everything is fine there.

Any suggestions?

Eureka AirSpeed Bagless Zuum: AS3011 belt does not tighten

Eureka AirSpeed Bagless Zuum: My motor overheats and the vacuum shuts off. I cleaned everything.

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 16:03:12 -0700

I have taken the vacuum apart and cleaned everything that I can access. This is bagless. I am wondering if there is sand in the motor, since it turns on and has good suction, then after just one or two minutes shuts down. Can I take the motor apart to clean?
