Vacuum cleaner belts are what spins the roller bar on a vacuum cleaner. When the bar no longer rotates, it's quite possible that the belt has broken and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, vacuum cleaner belts aren't standardized, and when a belt has broken, it can't be replaced with just any old belt. Your vacuum will need a belt made specifically for that particular make and model. To find the right type of replacement belt for your type of vacuum cleaner, you will need to know the Brand, Model Number, and Part number.
1. The brand is the trade name on the machine itself such as Hoover, Eureka, Kirby, Bissel, Electrolux, or Rainbow. Since vacuum cleaner manufacturers also produce replacement parts for their machines, knowing the brand name is important for finding the right replacement belt.
2. Model Number describes the model of vacuum cleaner owned. Most models of vacuum cleaners have the model number (and on newer machines, other important information) on a white, self adhesive sticky on the underside of the vacuum cleaner, the back, or inside the canister chamber where the bag is kept.
3. Part number is the "code" number of the part itself. On newer model of vacuum cleaners, the part number for the belt is usually identified on the sticky label along with the model number. If the part number is not identified on the label, then it's a wise idea to remove the broken belt and bring it with you to the shop to use as reference. The belt can be removed by unscrewing and removing the base of the vacuum.
