My oreck magnesium keeps turning off. Blue. Light keeps blinking

When the light blinks and the unit shuts down it most likely needs to have its bag changed. You may find tha the bag is not up to the fill line, but is likely over a half. Our experience is to change the bag and the problem resolves.

The battery inside the handle is losing connection stick a rubber foot inside to push in battery further

which model XL series do you have? There is obviously something shorted or arcing on the plates of the cell. look at the plates and see if they are laying flat and the wires are all still attached across the front of the cell. A loose, sagging, broken or bad contact on the end plates will cause the bad cell lights. clean off the area where the cell makes contact inside the unit. The metal strips that run across the ends of the cell make contact with the plates inside the cell and get their power from them, dirty contacts in any part of these contacts will cause the problem. Even a bad contact from the end cap to the plates inside the cell will cause this. Try wiggling the cell around, kind of push on it on edge to get the plates to shift slightly and clean the points where the plates touch the outer strips on the sides. Check for arcing with the lights turned off,

You really need the beater bar to break up the packed down and trapped dirt.

You can try a sink drain flexible wire cleaner. if this will work for you then simply turn/twist it till it gets to the location and hook the object with the end of it. that should work...hopefully

Hello!
The belt on your Magnesium is a fiber reenforsed belt that is designed to not stretch from normal use. Therefore it is not the easiest to acesss when it does need replaced. The belt will need replaced likely. The beltis on the left side of the vacuum and requires you to remove the side of the unit as well as to make it easier the bottom blue piece that is over the brushroller. Honestly I would advise anyone with this issue to take it to an Oreck repair center. Because ethe belts don't stretch it's difficult to roll the new belt on. Hope this helps!

By changing the Collector Cell. The flashing light is an indication that it needs cleaning.

Hope this helps you solve the problem.

slow blinking light means the unit is in DRY MODE.. flast blinking light means some sort of arcing or bad power supply..
if in dry mode let the unit run for an hour and it will stop blinking ..

I take mine apart when red light comes on and the filters and inside good. It goes off when the unit is screwed back in and turned back on
