  Debbie GilesJul 31, 2025
  If your Maytag Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up dirt effectively, several factors could be at play. Ensure the “Carpet” button is activated. Check if the vacuum bag is full and replace it if necessary. Clogged filters can also reduce suction, so replace them. Additionally, inspect the hose for any obstructions and remove them. Worn brushes may also be the culprit, requiring replacement. Finally, make sure the Tool Activation Dial is in the “Off” position when cleaning carpets or bare floors.
