Our vacuum cleaner's fan seems to be sucking the air from the exhaust port. Should it not be forcing into it. It has happened one day suddenly after working normally for long time. Can fan direction be reversed.

Vacs can't reverse themselves. Is it possible that the filter or bag has been improperly installed? I doubt that this happened all by itself. Some one made a mistake in assembly.

If your motor uses a capacitor in it, it can reverse direction if it's bad
