SEBO vacuum cleaner problems we fix

Check brush

Red brush light flashes, then off. The roller jammed. Cleared, then we check the belt and bearings.

Solid red

Red brush light stays on. The brush roller is worn down, or on an Airbelt the height is set too high. We reset it or fit a new roller.

Check bag

Bag light on with a new bag. A clog in the base, hose or swivel neck, or a dirty filter.

ET head

ET head stops. On Airbelt canisters a jam or deep shag trips its overload. Cleared, or a new belt or roller.

Bag light flashes

AUTOMATIC X bag light flashes, motor off. A full bag or a clog stopped the motor. New bag, or we clear the clog and check the hose.

Orange window

Airbelt, Felix or Dart window turns orange. Full bag, clog or dirty filter. On an Airbelt, ignore it and the motor shuts off in about 6–10 minutes.

Also common: weak suction. A full bag, packed filter or clogged hose. We clear it and check the seals. Burning smell? Stop using it to avoid more damage.

Keep it running with genuine SEBO bags, filters and parts. Time for a new one? See SEBO uprights, SEBO canisters or which SEBO is right for you. All SEBO vacuums →

How to keep your SEBO working

  • Change the bag when the light comes on, even half full.
  • Replace filters on schedule; don’t wash them.
  • Cut hair and thread tangles off the brush roller so it keeps spinning.
  • Weak suction? Check the filtration first: bag, then filters.

Lost performance? Our $29.95 tune-up: new belt, bag and filters, plus a full check.

Our 90-day SEBO repair warranty

If the same problem returns within 90 days, the fix is free, labor and installed parts too.

“Took my 6 yr old SEBO in because the carpet attachment stopped working. Stellar 5 Star service! They identified the wand as the issue & reminded me I had a service plan, which I had totally forgotten.”
