Kirby Rebuild Department
If your Kirby vacuum is in need of repair or rebuilding, call the Kirby Rebuild Department at 216-433-7797, or e-mail [email protected].

Any model of Kirby vacuum cleaner can be sent back to The Kirby Company for repair, including discontinued models.
Kirby Authorized Repair Shops
If you have a local vacuum cleaner repair shop in your area, call and ask if it is an authorized Kirby vacuum cleaner repair shop. The repair shop will have manuals on how to service and repair Kirby vacuums and documentation stating it is an authorized Kirby repair shop. Also, the repair shop will have a sticker on its front door with the Kirby logo and wording about being an authorized Kirby repair shop. The repair shop will have access to parts to repair any model of Kirby vacuum cleaners, including discontinued models.
