Fixed! I temporarily fixed the D4 today! After sourcing a replacement main PCB and fitting it, nothing changed, 2 blue lights and nothing happened, no motor spin up and no voltage to the motor. I'd already checked the motor wasn't seized and the brushes were good. The wiring to the hose...

Thanks! At the moment, I think the lights on this one are just sitting there with 2 on, towards the back of the machine. I'll go check again.

Status of lights Excellent response, thank you. One final question, what do the lights do in 'full blast' mode with the hose unplugged?

Hi all, Hope someone can help. I'm troubleshooting a faulty D4 Premium. This has the powerhead and suction controls on the handle. What is the default behaviour if you power on the D4 with the hose unplugged? Does it stay in its last state or power on the motor full blast? I know my K3 powers...

Hi all, I have a Henry (from the 90's I think) - 900w motor, black wheels with no covers, single rocker switch and power outlet. It doesn't have a bag connector in the tub. I bought one, but it seems to be a newer version as it's too wide to slot into the opening. Does anyone know what the...

Hey vacuumlanders! I recently acquired a Nilfisk GS80! My grandma had one when I was young and I've never given it much thought until I stumbled upon this one. It came without a proper length cable, was missing a metal pipe and the rubber coverings of the wheels were disintegrating. I've...

Turbo500, I've a customer up in the same location that use Mitie and last time I was there, I had the same experience, Mitie branded Numatic and all. Didn't have the balls to tell her though.

OK, I forgot how good the ET-1 is!

Hi sebo_fan, Yes I realise it's a 'fake' adjustment. I got my ET-1 back today, so I'm just going to live with it being black. It's got a newer cord & winder I harvested from a 2010 model that was sold for spares, new hose and extension tube and ET-1 so it's not going anywhere any time soon...

I took apart my ET-H power nozzle ages ago to splice in a new pig-tail connector as it was worn out. At this point I must have disturbed the height adjuster as I realised it doesn't adjust either which way and isn't grooming the carpet well. There seems to be a piece of string which winds...

Can you fix it? Superdon101, can you fix the old one? Did it go out with a pop or nasty smell of burning? If not, it might just need carbon brushes. My K3 needed a new cord winder, I took a punt on a K1 for spares from eBay and got it for £10. Put that cord winder in my K3 and kept the motor...

I'm a huge Sebo fan, I love the X range, Felix, BS36 and my K3 is my newest addition. Nar's comments about the K3 are interesting, I agree the electrics of the hose/wand seem to be an issue. I got mine second hand, it's 11 years old according to Sebo. It needed a new hose as the previous owner...

I like my G4 a lot for its upright cleaning ability and flexibility to turn into a canister. Unfortunately my housemates and OH hate it. "Why do I need gears on my vacuum?!" they say. Its days are numbered as I'm likely moving to a much smaller house in the next month and won't have space. It's...

My parents current X4 is quite noisy. The X1.1 they have is only slightly quieter. I think the X1 machines are quietest and easiest to push. My parents also have one of those, not sure if the carbon brushes have seated properly as it always smells slightly of ozone. I need to get better at...

If you have a warranty, just use it. The product shouldn't break and you shouldn't put up with it while it's covered.
