Kenmore Vacuum not sucking and brush not rolling, help!?

My father inlaw let me borrow his vacuum. He told me he replaced the bag for me before he brought it over. I turned it on and hot air is blowing out the front, this is no suction and the brush is not rolling. Help!

How do I fix this? What could be the problem?

Thanks

    Check the bag, it may not be installed properly. Also replace the belt that drives the beater bar. When you do that, clean and oil the bearings at each end. There may also be an overload breaker in the machine in case of the bag being too full.
