    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    Thanks repairman! All of my magnets are intact and there’s no loose wiring, so I’m going back to my foredrawn conclusion that I really didn’t want to face - it’s probably the boards. Do you have any particular vendor to suggest for purchasing these? $100 is lower than some of the other pricing...

    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    Thank you Rolls_rapide! I’ll need to look again for that loosened magnet and double check the other functions of the board. The other lights flicker once when I turn it on but I haven’t tested the brush or put my hand over the hose. I’m waiting until last to consider that it might be the PCB or...

    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    By the way…… Disabling the auto adjustment is a horrible idea. All it does is prematurely shorten the life of the brush roll. The mechanism is designed to compensate for brush wear by lowering the nozzle incrementally as the bristles start to wear shorter. It’s probably not the deepest cleaning...

    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    I thought the same thing…… I looked under the hood and everything is connected. The other lights for the bag and the brush are working, but I curious if the control board might be partially operational.

    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    The brush roll is fine… Anyway, the brush roll won’t keep the up and down arrow lights from working. Right now the machine is on its lowest setting and when lock the handle it should begin to raise up from the floor. That’s not happening. Likewise, when I lower the handle it does nothing either.

    Windsor Sensor XP12 auto height not working

    I just acquired a Sensor XP12 in immaculate condition. I’m just curious if the auto height adjust mechanism in these Windsors and Sebos are known to be reliable or problematic? I’m currently trying to figure out why it won’t adjust and neither lights for the up or down arrows are working. I was...

    Trip to Hooverland in Dunmore PA

    "dilapidated" LOL! Things can be treacherous out there! Please be careful if you happen to find a hoard-pile of Hoovers, or a Steam-Vac box with a.......nevermind. I just can't say it! LOL!

    Did an actress really get Hoover to color the Model 33 Convertible lavender?

    Ditto on the tasteful display! Yours is nicely done.

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    Most any new model will have bugs Just to be fair, the SRX was uncharted territory for Rainbow and a departure from anything they've ever done before. I look at new vacuum models with the same hesitancy as new car models: don't buy it in its first year of production. Let them get the bugs out...

    What happened here?

    This was done briefly in the 90’s. They also made a Riccar version.

    New Rbow SRX power nozzle

    Updated nozzle.... "If you ask me, it doesn't make sense for rexair to just update the nozzle randomly during the duration of the SRX." It makes perfect sense if it keeps Rexair from losing any of their long standing customers. This certainly isn't the first time that Rexair updated a power...

    Time To Trim the Kirby 2C

    Why don’t you turn it over to God and just wait. Your daily messages won’t make the parts appear any sooner. Most of us have waited a long time for the right parts to show up. It took 3 years for me to find correct version of power nozzle for my Canadian Electrolux and it was worth the wait...

The present day manufacturer also makes Grease Relief, ZUD cleanser, Bluette laundry bluing, NuSoft Fabric Softener and our old friend, Carpet Fresh. I was almost expecting to see Spic N Span in the product line up. If the Jubilee is still as...
