How do Electrolux Automatics work?

Doug and Christopher, I think this is what you are thinking of. I know this is what Doug is at least. This is on the AP280. Funny how its routed this way, and on my Diplomat LX its piped through the bottom of the bag door on the hinge.

Hey Kevin:

Yep thats what I was thinking of. On the Canadian AP and E series it connects the post-bag port to the controll dial as the dial is in the machine and not the door.

That makes perfect sense. I would imagine because of the compact size of the front dover on the Diplomat and for cheaper manufacturing reasons, they decided to disregard the original design. I wonder how much research and development it took to begin this system and perfect it as Electrolux did.

Just a tip for many people- before replacing the whole assembly if you have a door that keeps popping open, take a small wire and clean out the hose that terminates at the vacuum hose inlet. This has saved much time while doing a repair on one that keeps malfunctioning.

I've always wondered about Electrolux's R&D in general. Some of the designs, features, and way the machine is built is just pure genius.

I think they designed some of the best ideas into their machines. Of course this may have made them a bit pricey and heavy, my Silverado sure is, but that is what I love about it.29 years, still like new?? Yea, worth the money.
