Success! Thanks so much Collector2! I put it back together, put in a fresh bag, sprayed contact cleaner on all the electrical contacts and now it works!!

Nope. The vacuum runs, but not the power nozzle. I'll tell you, I think it used to run, but I haven't used it in a long time and I'm not 100% sure, so maybe it's dead and it's not the breaker? The vacuum was working when I used it yesterday (the power nozzle was not), but I did notice it...

Biker Ray - I put the contacts together and turned on the vacuum. I discovered that it does not shut off unless the dial is on "5". At lower settings the vacuum continues to run, however the power nozzle never engages. Collector2 - The motor moves easily when I turn it by hand. The light...

Not that I know of. I bought it used quite some time ago, and haven't used it it in a long time, but I'm pretty sure the power nozzle worked (although I'm not claiming to have a perfect memory. But (and understand I'm pretty clueless about these things) even if the wires were reversed it...

Okay, I see, and you're pretty sure based on what I've described, that the circuit breaker is the problem? As I wrote before, when I disconnected the wires and touched them together, the "full bag" icon lit up and the vacuum turned off. I should mention, though, that at no time did the power...

thanks. Well that clears up that question. Now if I can get some advice about why this power nozzle won't work, I'll be set!

should have written when I disconnected the black and purple wires and **touched them together**, the vacuum shut off.

Thanks. I connected the two prong plug directly to the receptacle on the handle. When I disconnected the two wires on the breaker, the light comes on indicating that the bag is full and the vacuum shuts off. That does certainly sound like a breaker, but why won't the power nozzle work? I...

The power nozzle stopped working. I tried connecting its cord to the receptacle on the handle and it still did not work, so I'm guessing it's the switch. My switch is a 938-41, and it slides through 3 positions. The ones I typically see advertised have a different part number and don't appear...
