WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SERVICE?

A good vacuum service centre will have a standard approach to their servicing. You should ask for confirmation about the specific checks and maintenance procedures that they carry out to ensure that the service is thorough and will bring your vacuum back to full working order and optimum performance. Look out for the following checks and procedures:

EXTERNAL CHECK

-External damage to housing

-Damage/ Defects to plug/ socket/ other

control knobs operable and secure

MAINTENANCE

-Bags & Filters replaced

-Check the belt at its position on the roller brush. The motor drives the belt (along with the vacuum suction). Broken or worn belts require replacement as they may cause the motor to over-rev, since the belt and roller no longer give resistance to the motor. An overworked motor will overheat.

-Disinfected and deodorised

-Clean inside and out using high pressure air through motor and interior

MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECK

-Physical defects

-Filters inlets and exhaust clean and cleared of obstructions

hoses checked for leaks and repaired or replaced

-performance checked

-internal wiring & fuses checked

-motor checked including carbon brushes and bearings. Replace if worn

-Flexible cord checked

-inner core not exposed

-anchorage of flexible cord

-external sheath not damaged

-no unprotected conductors or visible insulation tape

SUMMARY

If you want your vacuum cleaner to reliably perform at its optimum and want to ensure its longevity then an annual service is an inexpensive way of achieving this. A vacuum cleaner service is best conducted by a qualified electrical engineer and only routine maintenance should be conducted at home. During the service the vacuum is pulled apart, inspected and cleaned out thoroughly to remove dust that accumulates in and around the motor and internal filters. Consumable parts are checked for wear and tear or breakages and replaced as necessary to return your vacuum to function as good as a new one.

Don’t delay and treat your trusty vacuum cleaner to a service today!
