NOTE: If your brush roll is clogged or tangled the automatic shut-off will activate. Remove                          any debris and tangles then resume cleaning

NOTE: Your thermal protector may have been activated. A thermal protector has been designed 
            into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
                       1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug it. 
                       2. Replace the dirt bag, and clean the nozzle, and the air path.
                       3. After 30 minutes, once the unit is cleaned resume cleaning.
            For more information on how to clean the unit visit here.

NOTE: Your Oreck® unit comes with the brush roll assembled in the “NEW” position (multiple notches showing on top edge). As the brush roll wears it can be adjusted for longer life

When worn, rotate both plastic black endcaps at the ends of the brush roll to show a single notch “OLD” position. Insert back into the holding channels of the power head nozzle. brnote2

Follow these steps to fix your brush roll:

  1. Lay down your unit so you can access the bottom of it.
  2. Remove the 7 screws on the bottom of the unit to remove the base plate from the unit.
  3. Once the bottom plate has been removed, pull the brush roll up and out from the belt.screwsbr2-Jun-18-2024-07-00-35-0519-PM
  4. Cut any tangles or debris and replace the brush roll in the unit by passing it through the belt and aligning the ends with the unit. We recommend using your hand to rotate the brush roll to make sure it's properly installed
  5. Once the brush roll is installed in the unit, replace the nozzle cover and secure the 7 screws in place.

TIP: The brush roll is designed for long life. Should it ever become worn or frayed, it can be replaced by an Oreck authorized service center. Chat with us to find your closest service center.

WARNING: The motor and brush roll are equipped with bearings which contain sufficient lubrication for their lifetime. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Do not add lubricant to motor or brush roll
