A service manual is needed

This can be a complex undertaking, so I highly recommend taking it to the nearest Aerus Electrolux store for repair. I've seen many disassembled machines come in to the shop because the owner couldn't figure out how to put it back together. Any misplaced wires during reassembly can result in nonworking vacuum, shock and even fire hazard.
Taking it to the shop may cost more, but I believe is less expensive in the long run. They'll do it right.

Take out the bag and keep the door open.
While the bag door is still open, turn the machine upside down so you are looking at the serial number.
Pull the cord out one foot.
Use a puddy knife and put it between the rubber side rails and the **** end of the machine.
Use a hammer or malett to hit the putty knife from the back of the rubber bumber toward the bag door.
Pull the rubber bumber stright out on both sides.
Once both bumpers are out pull the lower body of the canister from the **** end toward the intake of the machine.
Once the bottom is open you can then service the motor, cord winder, switch, and all other components.

CHECK TUBE-SUMO ACTIVE ( PART NO: 1131402-02 ) CONNECTION AND NOZZLE-SUMO ACTIVE OR REPLACED (PART NO: 1131400-02)

This same wand is used on all older canister models since 1974 until about 1995.
Metal wand, about $24.
Upper wand assembly, about $34.

Parts should be available at any Aerus shop.
Of course, you can try to find used ones, often with complete vacuum, at second hand stores, pawn shops, yard sales, estate sales, etc.

you don't, as a repairman, even i have a hard time opening them, and then the hardest part is putting it back together.

Electrolux Ambassador stainless lower wand
Posted by Cuyler on Jun 01, 2008
I am trying to locate a stainless lower wand for an Electrolux Ambassador model 1623. The search has proven fruitless so far. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. A couple of thought came to mind that you can try. Look in the yellow pages for your local vacuum dealer to see if they carry it to contact your Electrolux factory @ the phone # listed below. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.
