In this video I will show a step by step walk through to replacing a worn out belt and bristle roller on a Eureka Envirovac. I you are saying "help my vacuum just stopped working!" Or "my vacuum stopped spinning." Then this fix will get you back to the carpet and your vacuum will perform better than ever.
This video will be useful for most model vacuum cleaners. They all have a similar mechanical design. The fact is you can do this easy fix in less than a 1/2 hour even for a first timer. If you already have some experience using tools and doing repairs it could be a 5 minute process. There really is no need to go to a repair shop or throw away your vacuum. All that will come from doing so is more money out of your pocket. And you will feel empowered knowing that you did it yourself.
It is very easy to order parts for almost anything on Amazon or Ebay. All you should need is the make and model number of your product. After you have that you can simply type that information in the main search bar on one of the websites and you will get many matching items for purchase. If for some reason you have difficulty finding the right part you can always start to disassemble your vacuum, remove the part and look to see if it has a part number on it somewhere. Usually almost ever part for every product has a number on it that is referred to as a pert number. If you obtain the part number you can enter it in the main search bar of the website you choice to do business with and there should be several options to choose from.
Good luck and don't forget that we, as the consumers have the power collectively to drive the price of goods up and down. Supply and demand. If we choose to let the supply be in demand for us to purchase then the price of products will continue to rise. If we choose to demand less of the supply then the price of products will be lower. Together we control the market. Separately the market controls us.

Thank you for this brief, yet thorough video, excellente👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I took my Eurovac vacuum into a local repair shop who wanted to charge me $45 to fix it. It only cost me $50 to purchase it, so i came home and watched this video and went to pick up the vacuum declining their services. Bought a bristle brush for $14 online and already had 2 belts, put both belt & bristle on and it works like a charm, gracias💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Thank you for making this video!!
I took my Eureka back apart and found out that my model is slightly different from the one you fixed in the video. Mine had a metal clip on the side where the belt goes around the metal shaft, apparently to keep the belt from slipping off? I dunno, but I had the clip in backwards and the cover didn't fit back on like it should. I reversed the metal clip and put the cover back on and now it's more quiet than it ever has been and runs like a champ. BTW- I bought my replacement belt from a local shop and just for reference the belt they gave me was the same belt that a Bissel brand vacuum takes. I was skeptical at first, but the guy was right and I guess that means that you shouldn't second guess the guru that owns the vacuum repair shop. LOL..........Once again, thanks so much for the video, you probably saved me a couple hundred bucks cause I was just about to chuck this one in the dumpster and buy a new one.
Thank for the help but i thought you were going to replace the bristles on the roller instead of the whole roller
Excellent visuals to clarify the verbal description....were you ever a flight attendant? ;-) Thanks for the help...honestly.

Thank you so much. Im glad you found this video helpful!
Thanks for the video, my vacuum had a high pitch squealing noise after I replaced the belt. Not sure what that's all about, but if it lasts the test of time great, but if it doesn't I'll just throw it in the dump and buy a new one.
Thanks, very clear!
I have the same vac and the carpet level selector does nothing. Do you know how to fix it?

+Carol K On the model in the video the carpet height adjustment is done by turning the light green knob on top of the housing for the bristle roller. When the knob is turned the bottom side of it should adjust two wheels that are on a small frame and have a spring attached to them to keep the frame held up. If the vacuum was to be turned upside down then the frame with the wheels attached to it should be exposed. You can pull the frame forward with a finger and then release it so the spring holding the frame to the vacuum will retract it back in place. If that is doing as I just explained than the frame is in proper working order. Keep in mind for this next test the vacuum will need to be turned over however the foot release lever used to allow the top of the vacuum to lean back must be engaged. With the foot lever holding the vacuum in its upright position turn the vacuum over and turn the green knob. You should see the frame move up and down as you turn the knob left and right. If you don't see this physically inspect under the frame for any obstructions by lifting it up and looking around the area where it sits. If there is debris clean it off also make sure there isn't any plastic that broke off the vacuum not allowing the frame to seat properly. If that is working then move on to the knob. Look to see if it is broken or seated incorrectly. The bottom of the knob should have a spiral shape to it and as it is turned the bottom will be positioned to either push the frame down or allow it to be seated with the spring. The knob on this model can also be removed by turning it counterclockwise past it's end position until it clicks then it should fall right out the bottom. The knob has a natch on it to help guide it back to it's correct position when reinserting it. Just match the natch on the knob with the natch on the inside hole where it sits. I hope this helps.
