Same thing just happened to me, there is power because when I lower handle for brush roll, it works but no suction and when handle is up then nothing, no noise or suction. Crazy, me red and white on worked for years and I have had this less than a year, going to try to use warranty. This model is the purplish one, professional with attatchments, not the slim one or anything, just a better version of my red and white professional one.
