How do you separate the plastic bag chamber from the metal cannister housing? Switch wires seem to be pinched between the plastic chamber and the metal cannister. The switch is effectively shorted out and also the door has no effect on removing power from the motor. Apply power and the motor runs no matter what. This vacuum had been serviced by somebody before (motor wiring) and whomever also messed up the metal power contacts on the terminal board by trying to solder motor wires to the contacts.


It's a mess but my wife wants me to fix this thing she just bought for a 'steal' so I am trying to get things operating correctly. Do the hard rubber 'Electrolux stripes' on the sides of the cannister have to be removed to reveal some hidden screws or something like that?[this post was last edited: 5/3/2020-10:58]
