Full 'make model (what it is)' is needed in all questions on Fixya please. The drive belt is broken whether it is a standalone upright cleaner or whether it is a canister vacuum with a hose and wand with brush head. How you replace it is completely dependent on make and model, but can easily be Googled or refer to the manual.

It appears for have hidden spindles holding the wheels so would involve full disassembly. No one has documented this before https://www.nilfisk.com/global/consumer/products/vacuum-cleaners/traditional/elite-energy-comfort-eu/c_107413385/ By the looks of it, you start with the 2 screws in the bag access bay and then keep going. This is a job that should be done by a service centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=Nilfisk+Elite+Comfort+disassembly The Parts Diagram shows all the relative parts and the wheels are held internally by one screw.

Hold the unit aloft, then tap lightly with a rubber or wood mallet all the way around the filter housing, try turning it then repeat process, it should come off eventually.

Possible electrical short in the reset switch.

There is a trigger/sensor that activates when a new bag is replaced. Check to see that it is not stuck or dirty and moves freely when touched.

Check for dirt in tracks of closure mechanism, clean as nessary. Also, check worn mis-aligned, adjusted clasp.

Sounds like an unwanted ingress of water into the motor assembly. Not a lot can be done without stripping the machine down and taking a look at any damage.

The belt is part of the pump that delivers the cleaning solution according to an unverified source..

There is probably a blockage in the pipe or on the entry to the motor. I would take it to pieces and clean it.

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 ..

Here is the manual.

Hi Len, it's Jack at Dyson. The cyclone pack on your DC14 should never be washed, flushed with water or submerged. Any residual water left within the assembly could cause permanent damage to your vacuum not covered under warranty. It could also contribute to an unpleasant odour from your machine in use. To clean the clear bin and shroud, you can remove the clear bin from the cyclone pack using the catch on the rear of the cyclone pack, as shown below. A soft brush or dry cloth can then be used to remove any clinging fluff or debris from the shroud. Gently tapping the cyclone pack will also help remove any clinging dust particles. You can also rinse or wipe the inside of the clear bin with a damp cloth to remove any dust particles, but make sure it's completely dry before reassembling. I hope this helps, but if you'd like any further guidance on maintaining your vacuum, please give our experts a call on 0800 298 0298 (UK), 1-866-693-9766 (US), 1-877-397-6622 (CA) or 1800 239 766 (AU).

To remove the dirty water tank on a Regina Steam 7.0, follow these general steps:

1. Turn off the steam cleaner and unplug it from the power source for safety.
2. Locate the dirty water tank, which is usually at the back or bottom of the steam cleaner.
3. Check for any locking mechanisms or latches that secure the tank in place.
4. Release the locking mechanism or unlatch the tank to remove it from the steam cleaner.
5. Gently pull the tank out of its slot or compartment, being careful not to spill any dirty water.
6. Empty the dirty water from the tank into a sink or drain.
7. Rinse the tank with clean water to remove any remaining dirt or debris.
8. Once the tank is clean and dry, place it back into its slot or compartment in the steam cleaner.
9. Ensure the tank is securely locked or latched in place before using the steam cleaner again.
