  • Remove bottom plate mounting screws and pull off the bottom plate from the nozzle assembly.
  • Pull the beater bar up and disconnect the drive belt from the beater bar. Remove the beater bar from the nozzle assembly.
  • Position the new beater bar in the nozzle assembly and slide the drive belt onto the beater bar. Install the new beater bar in the nozzle assembly.

Troubleshooting your Kirby upright vacuum when the beater bar isn't rotating

  • Check the motor overload switch. Reset the motor overload and check for obstructions that could prevent the beater bar from rotating. Clear any obstructions to beater bar rotation.
  • Unplug the vacuum cleaner and check the drive belt. Replace the drive belt if it's worn or broken.
  • Check the beater bar drive motor wiring connections. Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
  • If the beater bar motor doesn't run when it gets power, replace the beater bar motor.
