Default Help w/ Kenmore canister vac - stopped working on carpet

It works on the "bare floor" switch, but not on the "carpet" (ie:
light does not come on and the roller is not turning).
I did check the belt - hadn't slipped or worn, from what I could tell.


Most of that type of unit has a reset of some sort, perhaps right on the
head itself. The owners manual probably point it out in the
troubleshooting section.


No power is getting to the carpet brush, otherwise the light would go on, so
it's not the belt. Either the switch has failed, giving you just OFF and
Floor, but not Carpet; or there is a fuse or fusible link that has blown.
Check the manual, but I think you will have to wait until the repair center
opens.
