Expert Answer

The first would be using the wrong size, and the second would be putting it in clumsily. Other than that, it's hard to get it wrong.

Question

Would a vacuum bag that comes loose cause dirt to get inside so the motor will not start again?

Community Answer

The bag compartment and motor housing are separate, usually, so a loose bag and loose dirt would not be able to get in contact with the motor. However, if the suction is clogged, some vacuums have a fail safe to not turn off. Disassemble the vacuum and check for clogs and/or loose wires. Make sure while doing this the vacuum is unplugged, to prevent being electrocuted.

Question

How do I put a new bag in my Hoover Telios vacuum cleaner?

Community Answer

Pretty much the same as the article. Press the release between the hose and the handle to pop the lid, and simply pull out the old bag to install a new bag.
