Vax Vacuums - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

The best way to clear a blockage on a Vax 1700 vacuum cleaner is to turn the machine off and remove the dust canister. Then remove the filter from the dust canister and rinse it in water to remove any debris. After the filter is dry, re-insert it into the dust canister and put the canister back into the machine. Finally, turn the vacuum back on to ensure the blockage has been cleared.

Try cleaning out the motor and fan chamber, if there is a build-up of dust and dirt, it can prevent the fan from spinning. Also, check the battery and charging port for any damage.

You can clean the holes by using an old toothbrush and a solution of warm water and vinegar. Scrub the holes gently to remove any dirt or debris that is blocking them. You can also use a thin wire or pipe cleaner to help clear any clogs.

To troubleshoot this issue, start by checking the belt on the cleaner. Make sure it has not become cracked or frayed. Also ensure the brushes are properly installed and not hampered by dirt or debris. If the belt looks intact and the brushes are secure, next check the belt tensioning wheel. It should be properly tightened, so if necessary, adjust accordingly. Lastly, some models use separate power sources to drive the brush roll and the suction motor, so make sure that both are working correctly.

Question edited for clarity. No Gary It's not the carpet. The brush bar bearing ends are clogged up with hair and stuff. The brush wasn't turning properly and burnt the belt out. You put another one in and because the brush bar was still clogged and not turning freely, it burned out the new belt. Turn the machine over and try to turn the brush bar with your fingers. It is tight isn't it? Remove it and clean it. It should spin freely. I do my Dyson every 6 months. Video in the link. https://www.google.com/search?q=vax+carpet+cleaner+cleaning+brushes ..

There are a few things you can try to fix your Vax rapid power plus upholstery hose:

1. Check the water tank: Make sure the water tank is full and securely in place. If it is not securely in place, it can cause a reduction in water flow.
2. Check the nozzle: Remove the nozzle and clean it thoroughly. If there is any debris or buildup, it can cause a blockage in the nozzle and reduce the water flow.
3. Check the hose: Check the hose for any kinks, twists or damage. If there are any kinks or twists, it can reduce the water flow. If the hose is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
4. Check the pump: Check the pump for any blockages or damage. If the pump is not working properly, it can reduce the water flow.

If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact Vax customer support for further assistance or to have the machine repaired.

I would clean/refit the seals.

if seal replace if valve damaged replace

You haven't fitted the clear front part that sucks up the water correctly

dismantle the cleaner head to clean inside

IT has a 6 year warranty! IF they wont honor it, you may see if there is a little flimsy valve in the recepticle fot the tank. These can get sticky on dont open under weight of the water. If that is not the case, there are instances where internal vacuum keeps the water from flowing into the pump.

Question edited for all the typos (cordless vaccine :>). If it will do that 10 times in a row, it isn't the battery. The most likely cause is overheating. Take it in to a Vacuum Cleaner service centre.

where I can found ssrial number on vax platinum?

FIXYA doesnt sell products

The trigger is connected to a valve inside the unit. The valve is stuck on.

This is a first if there is a capacitor in your pressure washer. Never heard of such a thing....
