Step 1
Determine the make and model of your vacuum. The best way to find parts that will repair your vacuum cleaner is to know exactly what pieces you need and the original manufacturer.
-
Step 2
Find out if the model is still in production. Visit the website of the manufacturer and see whether or not your particular model is still being produced. Almost all companies have a customer care number you can call if you have difficulty finding it on the website. Many times companies will provide replacement parts for their items, especially if the item is guaranteed to work for a certain amount of time. If for some reason you have an older model you might need to consider alternate options for replacing the part.

Step 3
Use the Internet. The best place to find a replacement part is on the Internet. There are many sites that offer parts to vacuum cleaners, if you can afford to wait a few weeks.
-
Step 4
Visit a local vacuum supply shop. In most neighborhoods in larger areas there are vacuum repair companies. If you are unsure of the part you need or are having difficulty dismantling your vacuum cleaner, consult with someone who would have more experience in repairs.

Step 5
Place your order. Be prepared to wait a few weeks, especially if you are ordering something that is difficult to find. Don't plan on getting your vacuum fixed today unless they happen to have the item you need at the vacuum repair shop.
