Brush roll

Brush roll end that us messed up.

I purchased this vacuum recently for $5. It's in fairly good shape, but the brush roll is broken and it has messed up the housing. It isn't secure and it wobbles around as it turns. My question is- Will a new brush roll do the same thing in the housing. I'm going to post some pictures for the...

Thanks... Ben, I will check this out. Tim

eBay I have found quite a few on eBay. Any suggestions on eBay sellers who are also part of this site? Would like to support them if possible. Tim

Im looking for a brush roll and an original cord for a G4. If anyone has extras that they are willing to sell, let me know. Tim

Disposable Polishing Pads I ordered a set of white disposable pads. I'll see how these work and let you all know. Thanks for the input. Tim

Real Wood These floors are not laminate, but genuine hardwood. I'm not afraid of the wax itself, I've just ever used the Floor Pro brushes. I have only used the lambs wool polishing pads to give it a light polish. I just didn't know if the bristle brushes were used only for scrubbing. I...

Wax I have a bottle of Electrolux Liquid Wax. I had planned on applying the wax with the brushes, allowing to dry, then polish with the lambs wool pads. I have heard of people spray buffing their floors too. Would I use the brushes for this? Oh yeah, the floors are about 15 years old. Probably...

I have the scrubbing bristle brushes, the shampoo brushes, and the lambs wool pads. I am wanting to apply wax to hardwood floors. What type of brush/pad do I use? Will the bristle brushes be too rough and scratch the floors? Thanks, Tim

My Electrikbroom. Joel gave great advice on how to wash and clean the bag. I got great results by following his directions. My cleaner is REALLY loud. I think it needs greasing/oiling, but I don't want to mess it up either. Any suggestions on what type of lubricant to use and how to oil it...

Snatch it up! My mom had two of those growing up. The first one was from the 1960s and the second from the 1980s. I have looked for one of the blue ones from the 1960s for several years , but haven't found one. Still looking though. Hope you can get it. Good luck. Tim

My Model E .....does the same thing. It runs smooth and strong, but I don't think the sparking is normal. I carried mine in the vac shop today. The owner said he thought it was the brushes or the armature, but it could be fixed. He was shocked how nice the vacuum was. He said he could sell a...

Fairfax Thank you for your offer. I don't get down to Orlando too often. Have been a few times though. I'm going to tear into it this weekend. If I get stuck, could I call you to walk me through it? Tim

Any suggestions About where I can find information on how to work on my model E? I've searched you tube, but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tim

Thanks. I guess I'll begin tearing into it to see if I can fix it. I've never done it before, so I guess I'll muddle through, take notes and pictures, and go from there. My local vac shop has closed since its owner is not in good health or I'd take it to him. He replaced the motor several years...

Hello. I was using my Model E today and I started noticing a strange buzzing sound and a great reduction in suction. I took the filter cover off and saw that the buzzing sound was actually blue sparks arching from the motor. Does this mean a motor replacement is in sight? This machine sees...

I'm interested in Polishing/scrubbing brushes for Electrolux Epic Floor Pro if you ever come across any. Tim

Thanks. I never knew that about the different types of wax, Neil. Thanks for the info. I've never polished wood floors, only tile. Will the Electrolux wax work the same way? I found some of that online. Will the 3m pads not scratch the finish that is already on there? Tim
