The Dirt Devil upright vacuum cleaner may not be self-adjusting the height after replacing the belt and reattaching the wheels due to several possible reasons:
1. Incorrect Belt Installation – If the belt is not installed properly, the brush roll may not spin correctly, affecting the vacuum's height adjustment mechanism. 2. Obstructions or Misalignment – Dirt or debris may be obstructing the height adjustment mechanism, or the wheels may not be reattached correctly. 3. Worn or Incorrect Belt – If the replacement belt is too loose or of poor quality, it may not provide enough tension for proper operation. 4. Defective Height Adjustment Mechanism – If the internal mechanism is damaged or not engaging properly, the vacuum may not self-adjust as expected.
Check the belt installation, ensure all parts are properly aligned, and inspect for any obstructions or damage.

Thanks, I'll look into the self-adjusting height issue! The belt was bought at a vacuum repair place in town and it's correct for the model. I'll see if the rollers are starting properly, and is there is a compartment to put the wheel assembly at the back in! ->

Got it working, I discovered it's the angle of the handle that raises and lowers the wheels on auto height adjusting Dirt Devil upright models! Thanks, it works great now! Larry M.
