We own the following vacuum cleaner:

The agitator brush got clogged, and the unit overheated. After cleaning
the agitator, it powers up and seems work fine until the agitator comes
into contact with the carpet, and then it stalls. There is no change in
the pitch of the motor.

Are there two motors in the unit or just one? If it is one, there must
be a problem between the motor, belt, and agitator. The belt does not
appear to be stretched. I'm not sure how to tell how slick it is. The
agitator moves freely when the belt is not connected.

Where should I look to repair this unit? Thanks.
Hi,
Does it have cogged or smooth belt? Regardless it should be replaced.
Over heating made it no good.
