My Hoover has blown up! The best DIY vacuum in the world just went bang and stopped. Having taken it apart it appears that the radio suppressor has failed.
It is an ISKRA Lead through type with 4 spade connections. Cylindrical, approx 50mm long and 20 mm dia.
Working voltage is 250 v AC 60 deg C
It is ISKRA Type KPLB 749
Pt No C 638571 rated at 0.2uF
I am having difficulty sourcing a like for like replacement and do not know about electrical design to just fit a different type that will do the job or shorting out and not using the capacitor.
Any help would be appreciated, a serviceable old one, acceptable replacement with wiring details or how to just bypass the suppressor anyway.
I would really like to get this wonderful machine working again to save my wife's new Dyson from a pounding and earache.
