If the bag door is put back on, there's still a clog somewhere. Check behind the brush roll via the trapdoor but also look down that section with a torch. Also, check the suction channel at the bottom after the wand has been taken out. The bag light also acts as the filter condition - is the filter blocked or maybe needs cleaning?

You MUST use genuine Sebo X series bags. Do Not use generics. If you have not replaced your HEPA filter in over 2 years, you need to do that as well. That is the tower filter beside the bag. A Sebo service box includes 10 bags, the HEPA filter, exhaust filter and sealing strip. That should all be done every 2 years. If you hose isn't clogged that is most likely your problem. If not, take it to your local vacuum repair shop.

  1. First, pull out the hose, turn the unit on, check for an obstruction in the hose. (unclog and obstruction)
  2. Separate the body from power nozzle. Check for obstruction in the air hole passage.
  3. Pull and clean both filters in the unit. The inside white long carriage and the exhaust filter located above indicator panel. (nozzle body)
  4. If this is not working. think about where and how dirt is carried or passes from the front floor nozzle or through the hose.Somewhere in the unit the it is clogged. The red light censers a full bag (we know that's not the issue) or an obstruction to the normal air flow.
  5. Last Resort contact http://www.sebo.us/contact_us.aspx
  6. In closing: I've been selling and repairing vacuums for over 30 years. Of all the 5 major brands that I sell. Sebo is by far the, best product on the market.

Unless the circuit board is bad, you still have a clog, Either in the hose, or the dirt inlet by the brush roll.

1.If your sebo is less than five years old, you have a reciept, and are not using it commercially, in most cases this machine will still be under factory warranty. To locate
an authorized sebo dealer simply call sebo or use the dealer locator on their website.

2. If it is no longer under warranty:
First i would pick up something small such as a balled up gum wrapper and make sure it makes it to the bag, more often than not something is not checked, and its still plugged. Heres how i'd check for plugs.

  • Pull the wand out and remove it from the hose by pressing the button on the wand look through the wand
  • Remove the hose from the machine by pinching the hose clamp and pulling the hose out (it simply presses back in when you are done)
  • press on the large button below the bag compartment on the front. (its often a different color and presses difficultly) lift the bag compartment and handle off the powerhead. (replace by simply pressing the bag compartment back onto the head)
  • look down the powerhead and inspect the other areas of the bag compartment.
  • open the orange/gray door on the bottom of the powerhead and look through checking for debris.
Simply go back up through the steps to reassemble.

If your test makes it into the bag just fine and you are not plugged, the tall filter inside the bag compartment would be my next suggestion and since you changed this it should not be a problem. This leaves few possible problems. Circut board error/Sensor error would be my next step. Essentally its one in the same, but there is no great way to test them without simply replacing parts. (an expensive proposition) The local sebo dealer will more than likely have a working used board they pop in and out to check for problems. Some dealers may let you use these others will require you either buy the parts or pay for labor.

*Bad boards in sebo/windsor products are extremely rare, my bet is always on a plugged filter or plug in general. Be sure to look carefully something as small as a toothpick surrounded by carpet fuzz can set them off.

Best of Luck

Have you checked the filters to see if they are blocked and need cleaning/replacing. Failing that it could be the sensor at fault.

My Sebo X4 make a loud whining noise, i have checked for clogging in most places , the bag is not full, i have checked around the brush roller. What do you suggest?

Stripped belt ! Take it to your local Sebo dealer for replacement. Do not open it up yourself !!!! Sebo X4s have a lifetime warranty on the belt but if you open it up, you void the warranty.

How to fix squeaking and bag full sign lit on the sebo x4 extra upright vacuum?

Check the main "kitchen roll" filter isn't clogged which is on the left hand side of the bag when the bin door is opened. There could be a clog, either behind the pick out metal grid below the filter roll, or the roll filter requires to be replaced. Can you add more info about the squeaking though? Is it a high pitched squeal all of the time or just intermittent and where it seems to be coming from - it could be excess air escaping from a pierced hose or a drive belt issue.

It just keeps saying that my bag is full and cutting out, bag not full and have tried changing it anyway, but still cutting out

I would check the air filter. It sounds like it's over heating and shutting off because it doesn't have good airflow.

Sebo x5 vacuum cleaner

The full bag light comes on when it is getting full or a blockage in the hose or the dirt inlet by the brush roll. Other then that, there is a circuit board called the computer controller, part #5740ER and is giving you a false reading and causing a shut down.
