Trilobite error 18 Battery Fault?

RobotReviews http://www.robotreviews.com > chat > viewtopic
May 25, 2011 - I suspect it happens when a discharged battery is very weak, and may be because the 15 sub-C NiMh cells of one battery are dis-equilibrated.

Sep 7, 2009 - Trilobite error 18 I looks like charging problem. Could you please give advice by myself. - Electrolux Trilobite Vacuum question.

..

you either need new filters or you have a bad electronic board or possibly both. Most of these machines only last a couple of years. Not to discourage you, but do yourself a favor and don't buy another one. It's a chinese made Eureka with a lux label. Electrolux went bankrupt many years ago and Eureka bought the name. Miele, Sebo, Riccar, or Lindhaus are all better choices.

Did you by chance get any water and cleaning agent in the machine?

You need to have the vacuum cleaned out. If you are good with tools, just remove the motor and fans assembly, take the fans off and wash them. Brush ALL dirt out of the housing and reassemble. Your Electrolux dealer can do this but it isn't cheap. I used to be the service manager for my area. Since it isn't under warranty, you can have ANY reliable vacuum cleaner shop give a good cleanout. NEVER put anything into the cleaner to make it smell good. Electrolux cleaners get their power by having a straight through suction. The air goes through the motor. Adding smelly things can crystallize onto the motor and burn it out.

Hi There,
Ok so i am going to assume you are talking about an Electrolux filter that is basically a rectangle shape with a hard plastic outer and folded corrugated filter material in the middle. The link I put to Electrolux filter would be a good example. Basically I would caution you against washing it. I know the packaging says that it is washable but what I have found is that the pores of the filter material are too fine for water to pass through. What will happen is that the vacuums suction will wedge tiny bits of dirt and dust in the pores and water will not necessarily flush it out. What is far more likely to happen is that it will wash out a fair amount but leave a portion in the filter to set and therefore continue to block suction.
You are better to use an air compressor or simply tap the filter out on a piece of newspaper and change it every year or so.
Of course if your filter is more like a Electrolux UltraActive filter which is basically foam then you simply rinse it out like a kitchen sponge and make sure it is bone dry before putting back in the machine.

SInce the damage is done we cannot but think of a solution. It seems the internal filters , the hose and possible the linings within can be slightly clogged.
The only option left to us is to get the above sections cleaned, the filter replaced, the motor flushed with a wash of kerosene-- you must remove the motor and carefully wash and dry all the parts, the hose and replace the filters.
I am sure you can use surgical gloves and mask in case the odour is annoying but it is worth trying before you need to dump a good machine.
Good Luck

Try taking the twin filters outside - also take a dustpan brush and tap the filters gently on the bottom, then brush the dust away as it comes out. This can take quite some time, and you will find that LOTS of compacted dust will come out!

brushes probably worn out
take it in for a service or junk it and get a new one

The filter for your Electrolux 2100 is located on the rear top of the machine. It is covered by a plastic grill. You simply place your finger in the rear of the plastic grill, push the tab in slightly and lift the grill up to expose the filter. The filter is approximately 4" by 6". It is NOT washable. Most Vac Shops sell replacement filters in addition to them being available at the local Electrolux distributor.

I would trade it in on an Aerus vacuum.
