 Riccar vacuums are built with durability in mind and are generally easier to service than many big-box brands. Basic maintenance tasks like replacing belts, filters, and brush rolls can often be done at home with minimal tools. For more complex repairs, like motor or wiring issues, professional service is recommended.

Loss of suction is often caused by a clogged filter, full bag, or blockage in the hose or wand. In some cases, a worn-out belt or debris in the brush roll can also affect performance. Checking and cleaning these components usually restores full suction.

 Belts should typically be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on usage. Many Riccar vacuum do have lifetime belts, however. Filters should be checked regularly and replaced every 12-24 months, or sooner if you notice reduced airflow or lingering odors. HEPA filters may last longer but should still be inspected periodically.
