SOURCE: Electrolux Lux 7000 retractable power cord
The trim pieces along the sides just pull off seperating the two housings. The back portion where the retract drum is is held by two plastic tangs on top inside. use a screwdriver to pry the ring down to dislodge the tangs. the bottom part will lift off. remove the front part using two screws just below the hinge. the retract has a long coil spring wound around a free spinning hub. there are two "tangs" inside that engage a ratchet-pawl assembly. you'll need to rotate the drum to rewind the spring onto its hub.

SOURCE: auto rewind for the electrolux oxygen 3 ultra
The Electrolux Oxygen 3 is a piece of ****. I was dupped into buying because Consumer Reports said it is a high quality product. Wonder how much they paid for that endorsement! I the brush roller design is flawed and clogs all the time and then will break, the electrical cord doesn't rewind very easily and the swivel head just broke on me after a year and a half of use. RETURN IT! Just in case you didn't know. Electrolux is the same brand as Hoover (same parent company) and I don't like Hoover either.

Hi there Johnd, SmartAlec from Nelsonvacuums.com.au here. I fix vacuums full time for a living and the first time i had this problem with the australian version of this vacuum it tok me an hour to pull it apart and back together. now i have done a dozen or so it is about a 30minute operation. I dont know what you rate your technical skill level at but i give this machine a 8/10 for hardness. It is most likely that the cord has jumped off the reel and is wedged so it shouldn't require parts but it cant be done without nearly stripping it down. There is no reset or similar for the reel. My advice unless your very confident take it to a repairer. It would be 1/2 - 1hr of labour charge only i would think.
Hope this helps.
SmartAlec
