Electrolux Lux 5500 model Canister vacuum. Need

Do you mean the Electrolux/Aerus Lux 5500 canister vacuum? Is so, then the upside down U with a ? indicates check bag. Often it indicates no bag is in place. The filled in upside-down U below that means that the bag is full. Change your filter bag then reset the on/off switch. (Turn the unit off while you change the bag and then turn it on again once the bag is properly in place.)

This is shown in the manual here: http://www.modes-d-emploi.com/manuals/599758/aerus-lux-5500.html?page=4 .

I hope this helps.

Why do you need to get to the cord assembly?
If the cord will not retract, tilt the vacuum to about a 45 degree angle and gently tug and release cord. It will usually retract.
Due to problems ensuing from untrained persons attempting to reassemble the vacuum and having to take it to the shop anyway, I recommend not taking it apart.
If the above isn't the problem, please take it to the nearest Aerus Electrolux store for repair.

Electrolux C type of bag. These usually come packages of 12. Available at any electrolux dealer or vac shop.

The handle is replaceable. Any Aerus Electrolux franchise with a service shop should have them available.

If the bag full light keeps coming on, you can first try adjusting the dial on top of the vacuum cleaner. If that does not work, then you need to change the control valve. This is an internal component of the canister and is directly below the dial. You will need to follow the instructions on a previous post to open the Electrolux plastic canister vacuum, and remove the bage cage. Once you remove the bage cage you can change the control valve, and this will solve your problem with the bag full indicator.

It sounds like the valve assembly (full bag control) is faulty. Threr are two O rings inside of it and the plactic holding the bottom one has broken. You'll have to take it to the shop.

it could be that your motor has fried or the wires on the motor have come loose.

Remove hose from canister, then flip open lid. There is the bag!

Probably a clog, because the change bag light is nothing but an airflow sensor.

Check your hoses to ensure that there are no blockages, and also check inside the powerhead behind the brushroll.

The easiest solution would be to call your local Aerus/ Electrolux representative, because the corporation doesnt publish diagrams.
