Why does my vacuum shut off in upright position?
My vacuum stops working when I want to use the wand to suck stuff up. It work fine when vacuuming carpets.

Hi Alw,
The vacuum is likely shutting off because the safety switch is being activated. This can happen when suction is lost or something is preventing the beater bar from rolling. I would suggest flipping the vacuum over and removing the big plastic screws. Clean the beater bar (the cylinder with bristles) and try to see if it fixes the issue.

It works fine including the beater bar when vacuuming the carpet. As soon as you put the vacuum in the resting (upright) position the whole vacuum stops i.e. Starts right back up when you recline the handle. This makes it impossible to use the wand.
It sounds like you may have a clogged hose or a broken selector wheel. Please check the hose for anything blocking it and if it is clear take a look at the video below for the selector wheel.
The beater bar doesn’t spin in the upright position.
I am having same problem with not powering up in upright position, but does and the beater bars works when reclining handle. What did you do to solve problem??The selector wheel video was not available. Did that work ?
I believe that Lacey is correct in saying that the beater bar doesn't spin in the upright position.
Ours is brand new. Used it twice and now it won't work on the upright position. Checked everything mentioned above and there are no blockages.

Use a broom.
Or use the vacuum via wand while the vacuum is laying flat.
Most vacuums will stop the “ rolling pin” when vertical.
Who vacuums while standing on the ceiling??
The wand is for suction only. Giggity.
Which is why no need for rolling pin action since the suction win’t be down there
