Taking your vacuum cleaner to a
repair shop or calling a technician to fix it can be an expensive thing to do,
but fortunately, many small defects can be easily remedied by the owner without
any special knowledge or tools. Here are some aspects to consider before you
dismantle your vacuum cleaner and try to repair it:
-
The age and the value
of your vacuum cleaner – most vacuum cleaners are made to live and work for
about 5-8 years. If your unit is older than that, you can try to fix it, but
don’t expect it to be as new afterwards and chances are that you should start
preparing for getting a new appliance, especially if the broken component is a
major, expensive part, such as the motor;
-
Always start with
cleaning – the most common cause of SEBO vacuum cleaner malfunction is clogging.
Blocked filters, a clogged hose, a dust container or a bag that cannot hold any
more dirt and dust will lead to diminished power or, even worse, to the
complete breakdown of your vacuum cleaner. To make it easier to detect and to
eliminate the defect of the vacuum cleaner, start the repair process with a
thorough cleaning of all the components of your machine.
