Maintenance for Nutone Central Vacuum

 Electronics Maintenance for Nutone

All central vacs have transitioned to an all-in-one control board. They no longer utilize (and hardly supply) replacement individual relays, transformers, and mini breakers. If your Nutone Central Vacuum requires a new relay, transformer, mini breaker, or even a new control board or circuit board, employ one of these powerful, durable, cost-saving central vacuum circuit boards. In reality, a central vacuum really only necessitates a motor and one circuit board. Some vacuums have a couple of boards or fuses and multiple components that appear to be necessary, but they can typically all be removed and replaced with a single circuit board. It is not hard to retrofit a circuit board. An electrician can do it in less than an hour.

Filter Maintenance for Nutone

Much like a typical portable vacuum, the basic maintenance of a Nutone Central Vac System is replacing the bag, or, in most cases, emptying the dirt receptacle on the central unit. To do this, remove the base of the unit by a twist or unlatching, dump the debris, put a plastic bag over the bottom, and shake the center-weighted cloth filter. On top of emptying models, just open the top and remove the bag. On bottom vacuum systems without a cloth filter, reach up and remove the mesh filter or clean the debris screen. Some Nutone vacuums may have a foam filter that can be removed and washed and wholly air-dried.

Hose and Vacuum Head Maintenance for Nutone

Enjoy many years of maintenance-free vacuuming by caring for your equipment. The Nutone central vacuum hose is a costly part of the system but will last longer if stored on a hose hanger. Don’t store it attached to the vacuum wands, as it causes a stress fracture in the hose where it bends down from the wands. The best way to hang the Nutone vacuum hose is to create four or five loops on the floor before picking it up to be attached. It is not recommended to develop extra loops as this can cause more frustration attempting to keep it on the hanger and unwinding it. Consider a hose cover to protect the hose as well as your baseboards and furniture. Consider hose hangers, wand hangers, as well as hose straps. 

Your carpet brush also needs care. Take time to trim off long fibers and hair that have wrapped around the roller. The roller brush is a well-balanced Nutone central vacuum part that spins incredibly fast. But when off-balance, friction, and vibration can cause premature failure of the bearings and bushings. It is quite easy to check and clean your Nutone vacuum regularly.
