Common Central Vacuum Issues and Their Solutions
Technology has brought us many significant advances. One of those is the Central Vacuum Unit which helps reduce the drudgery of house cleaning. Instead of carrying a canister vacuum from room to room or manipulating an upright, you have the convenience of simply attaching a hose and appropriate accessory, and you are ready to work. The attachments make dealing with corners, window blinds, and other items much easier. From time to time, users will experience a glitch.
Here are some of the more common issues and how to resolve them quickly and easily.
Not Turning On
If the suction does not start when you are ready to sweep, check the breaker box first. If the circuit breaker has tripped, reset it. If it happens again or consistently, it is a sign that some part of the motor is failing. If so, you will need to discuss the issue with a professional and order a new engine or at least parts. If it is the motor, it should not happen until after decades of use. The last possibility is that there is a bad electrical signal from the unit to the wall inlet. Give your dealer a call, and they will walk you through the troubleshooting.
Won't Turn Off
This does not happen very often. If it does, there is a problem with the circuit board. Contact your dealership and tell the representative the make and model of your unit. They stock generic boards for dozens of manufacturers. They can ship a new circuit board quickly.
Reach
Systems are generally installed with the ability to reach the room's perimeters with a 30 or 35-foot hose. If there has been some remodeling, it is possible that the reach now needs to be extended. This is simple. Add another 12-inch hose extension. If you would like to use your central vacuum to clean up the patio, deck, or other outdoor areas, just pick up a 50-foot hose to get to where you need to be.
