Title: Why did my roller luggage's wheels stop turning smoothly?
Post by: scherz0 on Nov 15, 2021
Two weeks ago, my carry on worked perfectly. But last week the detachable wheels stopped rotating smoothly, when I tried to glide my carry on. The wheels budge JUST A TAD when you push them hard, but it should be EFFORT LESS! Pls see two pictures below.

I see nothing jammed in the wheels. I ventilated wheels with  my hairdryer. I hosed water into wheels. But nothing fell out. Wheels are still stiff! Why?

I bought this carry on for $350 USD. It is out of warranty. I can't afford buy new one.

Why don't you put a rubber band around the wheel so can a bit more traction between the wheel and the floor exists. See if that helps the situation!
