The main reasons that a Samsung vacuum cleaner has poor suction and ways to fix the problem
A reliable household appliance, an indispensable assistant - a Samsung vacuum cleaner, which cleans any surface in the house, suddenly stops performing its functions efficiently.
Due to the fact that the suction power has decreased, the fastest cleaning can take the whole day.
There is no need to rush to change your vacuum cleaner or take it to a service center. Most often, the cause of insufficient suction power is so simple that eliminating it on your own will not be difficult.
What are the reasons that a Samsung vacuum cleaner does not suck up dust well, and how to eliminate them, we will tell you further.

In what cases is everything normal?
Modern Samsung vacuum cleaners are equipped with a suction power regulator. Before you start looking for serious damage, It’s a good idea to check what level the power regulator is set to..
Quite often, insufficient suction power is a normal indicator for the selected cleaning mode.
If adjusting the power does not lead to significant improvements, then a more detailed diagnosis will help to find the cause of the poor suction of the vacuum cleaner.
Why doesn't the dust come out, what should I do?
A decrease in the suction power of a Samsung vacuum cleaner is not a reason to contact a service center. There are several reasons that degrade the performance of a household appliance., which are very easy to eliminate on your own.
Dust bin overfilled
The first thing that needs to be checked if the vacuum cleaner begins to suck up debris poorly is the dust container (a container or bag filled to capacity with debris reduces the suction power significantly). A signal that the dust collector requires cleaning (and in some cases replacement) will be the color of the indicator on the body of the vacuum cleaner.
If the light is green, the dust container is empty, the household appliance is operating in normal mode. The light turns red - a signal that the waste container is filled to capacity and the vacuum cleaner is working under load.
Worth remembering:
Paper bags filled with waste more than 2/3 of their volume must be replaced.- Fabric dust bags can be reused.
In order to clear them of debris, you need to remove the plastic retainer, shake out all the dust accumulated in the bag, and then secure the edges of the dust collector with a plastic holder.
At least once a month, fabric bags are rinsed under running warm water (without soap), dried, after which they are ready for use again.
- A removable plastic container is the easiest to clean from debris. It is enough to remove the container from the body, pour the accumulated debris into a bucket, and rinse the container thoroughly under running water.
Before returning the plastic dust container to its original place, it must be thoroughly dried.
The brush, hose or telescopic tube is clogged
The dust bin is empty, but the vacuum cleaner still doesn't suck up dirt well? In this situation It is worth checking the cleanliness of the brush, corrugated hose and telescopic pipe.
First of all, inspect the brush of the vacuum cleaner (during the cleaning process, the bristles become clogged with small debris, hair, and animal hair).The outside of the nozzle is cleaned with a soft brush. Additionally, using a flexible wire bent at the end with a hook, clean the elbow of the brush that connects the nozzle to the telescopic pipe (most often this is where debris and dirt from the floor collect in a lump).
The next stage is checking the corrugated and telescopic pipes (a strong hum of a working vacuum cleaner is a sign that debris has accumulated in the pipe or a foreign object has entered).
Additionally, the corrugation is checked for breaks (gently stretching and carefully inspecting from all sides). Even minor tears in the corrugation are a reason to replace it.
Before cleaning, the telescopic tube is disconnected from the brush, after which, using a thin wire with a hook, it is cleared of debris. Small debris from the corrugation or telescopic pipe can be washed out with a strong stream of water.
Filter clogged
The Samsung vacuum cleaner is equipped with two types of filters: fine filters (located in front of the motor) and exhaust cleaning filters (installed on the back of the body, covered with a plastic grille).
To assess the condition of the thin filter, you need to remove it from the housing, turn on the vacuum cleaner, check the suction strength.
If the suction power increases without a filter, the filter must be rinsed under the pressure of warm water, dried and replaced in its original place. If cleaning the fine filter does not lead to the desired result, it must be replaced. The condition of the outlet cleaning filter is checked in the same way.
For high-quality operation of the vacuum cleaner, the fine filter and exhaust filter must be changed every 50 hours of operation of the household appliance. Depending on the Samsung vacuum cleaner model, the location of the filter may vary. More details about which filter is installed in the vacuum cleaner can be found in the passport of the household appliance.
The engine has failed
The body of the vacuum cleaner heats up, there is an unpleasant burning smell, and the vacuum cleaner suddenly turns off during operation - a signal of a motor malfunction.
The “heart” of a vacuum cleaner can be damaged by:
- brush wear,
- contamination of the armature commutator,
- dirt sticking to the fan impeller,
- bearing wear,
- failure of the electronic unit.
A multimeter will help you test the engine's operation.
Algorithm of actions:
- remove the decorative cover of the vacuum cleaner body;
- We apply the tester probes to all sections of the circuit (“zero” resistance is a sign of breakdown).
If the motor fails due to a break in the winding on one of the coils, then it is more economical to purchase a new household appliance (buying and replacing a motor will be very expensive).
Do-it-yourself engine repair is only possible if you have minimal knowledge of the engine structure and experience in similar work, otherwise there is a high risk of permanent damage to household appliances.
Prevention
To avoid the problem of insufficient suction power, use the vacuum cleaner as carefully as possible. following a few simple rules:
never vacuum surfaces covered with large debris or construction dust;- change filters regularly (at least once every six months);
- clean the garbage collection bag (container) in a timely manner;
- During the cleaning process, make sure that the corrugated hose does not twist or get caught under heavy objects.
At the first signs of serious damage (very strong heating of the housing, a burning smell), use of the vacuum cleaner must be stopped until the causes that caused the malfunction of the household appliance are completely eliminated.
Conclusion
Most often, the reasons for insufficient suction of a vacuum cleaner can be easily eliminated with your own hands. It is enough to carefully inspect the household appliance, identify places where debris accumulates and clean them.
