I changed the hepa filter & it didn’t help. It’s a bagless vacuum. Any ideas?

Hi
It could be that the belt is broken or about to break. Most likely you got a string or carpet string wrapped around the bar that turns underneath and that stops the belt from turning. You may have to take the bottom apart and check for tears in the rubber belt. If it’s torn, get another one. They are only about $5.00. Also if you have a cheap vaccum such as a Eureka and you sucked up a coin or other large object, it will go throught the engine and then it is ruined and unfixable. I know this because I have my own housecleaning business and have used every kind of vaccum out there.
If you have to buy a vaccum, just don’t get Cheap Eureka, Dirt devil or Bissel; Kirbys are also just paperweights(they work great but heavy and awkward).
My favorite is the Hoover Windtunnel and you can get bagless; their filters are expensive, so I use a scrub brush or dry paint brush get out all dust particles. Sometimes I even wash the filters and let dry. You can make them last up to 1 year. The vaccum costs about $250.00 but well worth it.
Another vaccum that I found is the Shark bagless. The handle turns into a wand that you can add attatchments to. Also the filter is completely washable. This is also a vaccum that is about $90.

I hope that this will help you
The belt may be burned up. Check the belt. Good luck and God bless****

The motor could be going bad if it isn’t the belt.

Check the roller. My daughter’s was full of hair and started smoking.

if it is the type with a rotating brush/beater the bearings on the two end are chocked with hair or carpet fibers.
