Antoine, my bet is it's a bad power switch based on what you described is happening. Take note of how the vacuum is wired, then unhook the motor wires, and hard wire them to a old power cord. Plug it right into the wall - if the vacuum powers up, it's either the switch or cord rewinder causing issues. It could also be bad contacts in the cord rewinder too, but you would know that if the power fluctuates by pulling the cord in and out.

Thats my train of tough also as it would shut off in on position.

hows this looks

 

[thevacomaticiec]

clean the contacts tryed it nothing.....  try  it  with  cord out  all the way and   back  in  no  go   dead i nthe water   switch or cord  reel  she would slowly gert  to full rpm  then power on   fully  for4 months like on vrrrr then VRRRRRRRR full  power so i think  some thing was failing   and now its done for what i dont  know burn  out maybe ?

Nice

Great Job on the 2 power nozzles. I'm no electrolux fan but yours looks nice.
I got a blue newer patriot with a wessell werk ebk360 power nozzle.
The patriot is basically a pig.
I still got my c9 I use the heck out of with a eureka power nozzle. The eureka nice but it's not close to what you have.
So I too have 2 pigs now for my daily drivers.
I like my c9 you helped me get the best.

Good news from you im glad you like your C9 i use my C 8 a ton shes built to last

That floorhead is Chinese made, and is common with many extremely budget cleaners. It's based off of a design that first came with the 3-in-1 Vax cleaners in the early 90s.
