Solved Received the Ultralux Classic I purchased over eBay yesterday & took it apart today In comparing how the new machine was wired, it was obvious that my old machine had been wired wrong. The black & grey wires in the diagram in reply #16 were reversedI talked to my better half and she...

Took the vacuum down to the local repair shop - not authorized electrolux, but he's been in business for 40 years. No luck. Insisted that my power nozzle hose must have had it's own on/off switch. It never did So, I just bought a good looking Ultralux Classic, identical to the one I have, off...

In doing some research, I think I have answered my first question. In the bag door switch when the door is closed, electricity flow between the red & blue wire as well as the red & white wire. However, the light does not light up because there must be enough resistance in the white wire (or...

I have not tried connecting the canister motor directly to power, but the vacuum does suck (maybe not the best term, but it does pick up dirt), so I will say the motor does run. Here is what I am trying to determine - The bag door switch has three wires (red, white and blue) - The red wire...

OK - I need to talk a little electrical theory here. Using the wiring diagram above, I tried the following combinations of wires at the hose winder Terminal 1 Terminal 2 Vacuum Nozzle - light green white did not run ran with on/off switch - light green...

Good Afternoon. Here's a status: - I separated the two white wires (one is actually kind of a yellowish light green. Connected the black wire and white wire together to one of the cord winder connections. Connected the yellowish light green wire to the other. Result was the power nozzle did not...

Even through this problem with the power nozzle started before anyone was into the machine, the more I learn from everyone here, the more I am beginning to think that this must be a wiring issue. I have not seen any burnt connection or crossed wires or anything else that might have happened on...

I just finished an experiment. I - Unplugged the power nozzle from the hose - Plugged in the vacuum, but did not turn it on - Checked for voltage across the power nozzle connector in the hose - I got 120 volts My question - should I have 120 volts with the vacuum turned off?? I've attached a...

Human - Thanks for that link. I read it with great interest. I hesitate disconnecting the double white wire connection because they are very tight and appear to have been that way for ever. I looked at the colors very carefully, and I don't think either is grey. One might be a very light brown...

Kirbylux77 Except for when the motor was replaced last week, the last person in the machine was an Aerus repairman in Salt Lake City. We would take the machine there once a year for a maintenance checkup. It has run fine until now I opened up the bag door - picture included I have continuity...

I thought I would use Dysonman1's suggestion and go a step farther. I checked the continuity between the plug and the connections on the cord winder. My knowledge of AC current has some holes in it, so please don't laugh too hard. - I tested the wall outlet with a voltage detector (Greenlee...

Sorry - I'm a new member can can only post a message once within 30 minutes. Dysonman1 - I was typing my response at the same time you were adding your suggestion, so you did not know that the problem happened before anyone was inside. However, I tried swapping the leads as suggested anuway...

Thank you all. I've added a couple pictures that hopefully will help identify what I have. On the inside of the bag cover, it says: - Vacuum cleaner - Model 1521 On the bottom of the power nozzle, it says: - POWER NOZZLE - MODEL 1692 The serial number on the tank stabilizer (the front wheel?)...

New member here. I have an Electrolux Model 1521 vacuum that we bought new back when I had hair. It has run flawlessly up until about a month ago. Here's what happened: - With the vacuum plugged in, but the switch turned off, the powerhead would run. It had never done this before - When the...
