      There are several reasons why your Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner might not be picking up as it should. It could be due to the dirt container not being installed correctly, the dirt container being full, a clogged filter, a clogged nozzle or dirt passage hose, a worn brushroll, or a broken or worn belt. You can try the following: * Make sure that the dirt container is installed correctly. * Empty the dirt container. * Remove and clean the filter. * Remove the base nozzle cover or the hose to remove any obstructions.

    Why is the brushroll not rotating on my Dirt Devil Platinum Force?
    • C
      Cynthia WeberSep 2, 2025
      If the brushroll on your Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner is not rotating, ensure the brushroll on/off switch is in the on position. If that doesn't work, turn the brushroll on/off switch to the “off” position. Turn the unit off and unplug. Remove any obstruction. Plug the unit back into the outlet and turn the power and brushroll switches to the “on” position.
