    Here’s the switch I removed. I even switched around the brown and black plugs and the vacuum still turns on by itself when I plug it in. I think I might need another switch.

    So it’s been like 4 months I haven’t got any new vacuums for my collection because I’ve been saving a lot of money but last Friday I donated 4 vacuums I don’t use anymore. I got rid my Shark 3 in 1 multivac, Eurekas Power Plus and Airspeed One, and a Dirt Devil Power Stick with wedge edge...
