Clog behind clear tube that I cannot reach - Electrolux EL8602A Nimble Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

Check all the tubes from behind the brush all the way to the bag. The 'Bag Full' light just detects a reduced air flow by the increased air pressure..

I had to use pliars to change the level. I only used that vac three times and I got rid of it. It cut off on me and never restarted. Sorry!!

Unplug, cut hair on rollers and pull to clean. Remove dust bag and use a bent hanger to pull out the clog from the intake tube, most likely there is paper caught in the hair.

Lift out front electrode unit and run you finger up and down the back side of each electrode. If there is no dust present, did you clean the front ionizing wire on the front grille?

If you remove both front and reare grill, there is also an ionizing behind the 2 conductive rubber strips. Easiest way to reach them is from the back side of the unit. with tube removed. Run finger up and down each one. If you never cleaned those wires, get an emery board for fingernails, and gently run the wire between a finger and the board with gentle pressure only- this will help clean any silica residue from silicone based air fresheners. Dust out the base of the unit, and reassemble. this should take care of the "clean" message.

I just has the same problem, there is a clog in the intake hose. I removed the hose and used a cloth dryer lint brush to push out the clog.

The plastic insulators may have become dislodged. If the filter is fully dry, and it is arcing, look for plates that are nearly touching. and look for the distinctive black residue the arcing will leave behind.

Depending where the arcing is occurring, the cell may need to be replaced if inslutors have degraded excessively.

If hair or a dust bunny get in there, it is comparable to a bumble bee getting caught in a bug light zapper- it might take a while to clear.

- Remove the top two screws from the control panel.
- Remove the control panel. Be careful not to pull to hard as there is a ribbon cable taped into place.
- If the ribbon cable is taped, remove the tape and set down the panel as to not put weight on the ribbon cable.
- On the top left side of the unit (behind the dust sensor), there is a small box that is held in by a screw and plastic clips. Remove the screw and put tension on the clips so you can remove the box.
- there should be two holes in the box (one on each side), use a cotton swab and alcohol to clean outside and inside the box. I reached inside with the wet swab as far as it would reach.
- While you are in there, take some time to remove as much dust off of the front panel and anywhere else it may be.

That did the trick for me.

Since you said the water supply is shut off, the likely culprit is a clogged drain tube that connects the defrost tray to the water collection pan for evaporation at the bottom of the fridge.

The source of the clog is usually either mold growth or more likely, ice build up. Regardless of which, if you access the defrost heater in the freezer section, you can thaw ice that has collected in the tray and if needed, use a turkey baster to direct a hot stream of water at the point the hose attaches to the tray and treat the hose for mold, below.

Once cleared of ice, mix a small amount (5 or 6 oz) of water and 1/2 to 1 ounce of bleach and direct down the tube to kill any mold / growth. Be careful not to use to much or overflow, as clean up will be difficult due to the bleach mixture.

The next thing to do (if icing up) is to determine why. A careful check of the defrost circuit should be done. Otherwise, you'll be doing this over - and it may start to affect the temperatures in the frozen and fresh food sections of the fridge.

I hope this helps!

The presence of “white dust” is actually an indicator that your Electronic Air Cleaner is working properly. The Electronic Air Cleaner can only filter the particles that are passing through your system’s duct work. The staining particulate is generally lighter, and more able to be drawn through the return registers in your home, leaving the heavier, non-staining particulate behind. This heavier, non-staining particulate settles out of the air and is left behind on your furniture: because it is more visible, it may appear as though there is actually more dust in your home than there was prior to installing the air cleaner. To ensure that more particulate is able to reach the Electronic Air Cleaner to be filtered, you should make sure that the return registers are clean and not blocked by furniture.
