clogged central vac

We have a 2019 3761FL, the central vac for the interior appears to be clogged. The port in the front basement is fine. Looking for a way to clear the interior hose between the port and the motor. Thx

Has it worked properly before? Bag may not be correctly installed.

No Sir, no missing toys. I’m thinking about taking it apart from the front basement. No other apparent way to access the hose where it connects to the unit

If you have a good shop vac, you might be able to suck whatever is clogging the line by connecting at the other end inside the rig. Just a guess that might work.

3130re. Picture under the stairs behind basement wall. They do have a lot of duct here to allow you to take down the wall.

Send a message via MSN to dhuhn
you should be able to get behind the main part in basement , there you can see if hose came off, or you can get the hose off that goes to inside to see if you can find the clog.

I have a 2019 3791RD, so yours could be different.

Hook up a shop vac at the port and suck the clog back towards the shop vac.
