Vacuum cleaner Lux model motor fails to start

Is there a reset button I can try before bringing the unit in for service?the serial number is 19220. I hope I've indicated the correct model below. The unit simply says "Electrolux Lux Legacy".

Can you provide more information? Is it the vacuum or power nozzle motor?
There are a couple items that should be checked.
Full bag will cause the vacuum to shut off.
Hose blockage could be another problem.

This vacuum has a 10 year warranty on the motor, and 5 years on everything else. Look in the yellow pages under vacuums, for the AERUS dealer, that is the new name for the traditional Electrolux company.....

SOURCE: Electrolux Epic 6500SR Full Bag sensor working, Does not Reset properly

The problem was a sticking switch that was not being reset. The vacuum on/off switch mechanism is comprised of two switches. One is the main switch that turns the vacuum on and off. The second is a shut off switch that gets tripped when the full bag sensor is engaged. This second switch is supposed to get reset when you push the on/off switch on the outside of the machine. The full bag shutoff switch was stiff and it, therefore, was taking a couple of presses of the on/off switch to move the shutoff switch back into the running position.

SOURCE: vacuum cleaner won't go - missing a step

In between the filters there's an access panel that can be removed - there may be a blockage there. You should also check your hose for a blockage.

Otherwise you may need to take it to your local Electrolux Service Center. There may be a problem with the pressure board. The machines have a 2 year warranty, not sure what it'd be in your neck of the woods.

SOURCE: electrolux lux vaccum cleaner hose and fitting/nozzle needed

Ladies! Go to vaccums24X7.com. They have more parts for older machines than you can imagine. They have good pix to help you ID your model if you can't read the worn spec plate. They have hoses for the 1970's-1990's old "iron horse" electrolux canister models. So does ebay and a few other sites...do a google search and you will find them. Sadly, Electrolux (the company) is more interested in selling new machines than supporting old ones...like everyone else these days. Still my old (1982) Silverado Delux really sucks, so much so in fact that it pulled the liner out of the old hose and would not pick up dirt as a result. A new hose is about $70....you can get a whole new vaccum at Wally-World for that, though as you point out they do not have the vaccum that the older machines do, but then the older machines are always needing work because of their age. I hope that helped you.

SOURCE: just need manual of LUX 1 Royal vacuum cleaner,

I'm sorry but this is a model that is not available here in the United States. I have never seen this model before in my life, and have no clue what could be wrong on this model. I did however find the instruction manual for your model. You just have to answer a 4 question survey on how you like the LUX 1 and it's free download.

I have the classic blue Miele vacuum cleaner. It stopped during operation yesterday and won't start again. The plug is firmly attached to the outlet and the dust bag and Heppa filter are new.

There can be a couple of things that would shut down your vacuum cleaner. A wiring fault inside the cord retractor, power switch has failed, the motor armature has failed or the brushes on the motor have either worn down past their serviceable life or jammed (unless the motor has burned out - you would notice the smell). If you aren't electrically savvy I wouldn't attempt to disassemble your vacuum cleaner, but all of the above issues can be fixed at home. Take it into a shop for repairs. I have serviced the motors on a number of different vacuum cleaners successfully without having to spend money on repairs except to replace a bad on/off switch for a few dollars.

Hi, there is no reset button on a Rainbow vacuum. There is a safety switch on all E series and E2 series Rainbow vacuums, that keep it from running without the water basin on it.
If you have any more questions let me know. I am a Rainbow seller, and a Rainbow expert also.

Electrolux central vacuum

Electrolux central vacuum
Posted by judiths on Apr 05, 2008
Help! It works fine until I plug in a hose and then the unit surges--kind of like its breathing.

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. It sounds to me that you may have a weak motor and when it takes on a load it starts to over load and or surge – but if the motor is still under a factory warranty then contact the vendor who installed it because if you work on a unit that is under a factory warranty then it will void the warrant. It is not the vacuum inlet because that only uses a low volt wire. So if it beyond the factory warranty then contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or cal the Electrolux factory for further information and or an owner manual on the unit giving them a model # and serial # so they can download the correct service manual for you. Your motor may be in need of service but be careful that the repair and labor does not exceed the cost of a new motor.

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.

Sounds like motor brushes may be going. Is the vacuum cleaner old? I suggest bringing the unit in for service to replace the motor brushes. Get a quote to see if is worthwhile to fix.
