Snaking the hose won't change the suction unless you pushed an obstruction deeper into it. Try dropping a coin through the handle and shake it through to the other end. If the coin stops it will rattle at the obstruction. If the coin passes through your issue is either and inlet with the door ajar or a loss of suction due to an obstruction in the pipe or a leak at the machine, either the gasket or filter or similar. Post back. To test each inlet for suction, mark a tissue with a # for each and move your hose inlet to inlet , then go to the pail and see what came through.This will help to determine if you have a blockage in your main line or a branch of the internal piping.
