Most likely cause is that the handle needs to be full upright to engage the attachment hose. If it's tipped backward, like you'd have it when doing vacuuming with the bottom unit, it's shut off. You may also want to move the handle to full upright and then back to deeply angled backward a few times in event that the mechanism is stuck or sticky. Good luck!
