I was using my eureka Dial-a-nap earlier and taped the on/off button to turn it off it turned off for a second then turned back on with the button turned off! I tried and tried to turn the vacuum off and it wouldn't turn off! Ive never had a problem with this vacuum until now! I had to remove the plug with the vacuum on and that was completely unsafe! It was the only way I could turn it off!....anyone know what could be wrong?....

Help Support VacuumLand:
Since when was unplugging an running appliance unsafe? I've never heard that before. Last time I knew computers and TVs had current flowing to them all the time and you never have to worry about unplugging them. If I'm wrong, someone let me know.
Most appliance manuals specify that the appliance should be turned off before unplugging the cord. I think it is because of the possibility of getting shocked. There have been times when I've unplugged the cord without shutting the vacuum or whatever off, and I see a white spark just as the plug is removed. These days, with everyone being 'sue' happy, I think manufacturers are trying to cover every possible legal issue.

Unplugging
The main reason I hated my George Foreman grill was that it had no on/off switch. You plugged it in and it heated up. To turn it off you pulled the plug, and EVERY time, you got a spark from the socket. It's easier to go to Wendy's for a burger anyway. Sorry to hijack the thread Travis. Do what David said and replace the switch and get that Dial A Nap back to tip tip!

Unplugging still
My Electrolux Renaissance hose/handle/switch combination was on the fritz when I bought it at the thrift store. I plug and unplug the machine daily, and yes, I spark.
Our run of the mill sockets are not switched.
