You might be able to determine and take care of the problem without having to give the Oreck XL to a professional to fix.
-
Plug the power cord fully into a wall outlet if the XL will not turn on. Check the outlet by plugging another appliance into it to ensure it works.
-
Turn the XL to the side and look into the housing for any blockage if the cleaner will not run. Clear away any blockage.
-
Inspect the belt if the cleaner does not pick up debris. Make sure the belt is not broken.
-
Unzip the bag cover and inspect the bag if there is insufficient suction. Replace the filter bag if it is full. A full filter bag will decrease performance.
-
Change the filter bag if the bag pores are clogged with fine dust. This blockage can prevent debris from entering the bag.
