Information and spares diagrams. You would have to disassemble and find the reason, but probably a spring became unhitched. https://www.google.com/search?q=Windsor+S12+vacuum+handle+release+not+working ..

Probably from underneath

could be a swith

I own a few Windsors and I believe those pulleys are threaded on in reverse. Unfortunately there's nothing to grab hold of on the other end while turning the pulley with a pair of pliers. When servicing Hako machines I normally remove the armature from the motor and grab it with a towel while turning the pulley off. Give that a try, if no luck I'll get into one of my Windors and see how its configured.

Take it to an authorized repair person.

Serial numbers are typically on the underside of the bottom bracket (where the cranks go through the frame), on the left rear dropout (where the rear hub axle is attached to the frame) or sometimes on the bottom of the head tube (where fork goes through frame). Serial number is typically useful only for registering a bike in case of theft or for recalls. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_f2ed37026a3ac881

You most likely will need to change the Yoke assembly. There is a sensor built in that gets clogged with fine debris over time. This will take care of the problem.

it comes up from the back,it is probably plugged or the sensor is dirty

Check the line going from the bottom of the vacuum to the bag, it may be clogged. A coat hanger can help you clear any jams, but be careful not to puncture the duct.

What color light are you referring to? If it is one of the green lights that is normal for the up and down adjustments. If it is the red one that is another issue. If it is the red one, what does it do while it is on? Does it flash or is it on solid?

You likely have one of two problems. Your return spring is broken, or your axle is bent. If your axle is bent, carefully inspect your chassis to be sure that the bent axle has not cracked or otherwise damaged the chassis. I have included a parts list as well as some links to these parts for your reference. http://windsorvacuums.com/partslists/s12_PARTS.pdf 2010 Axle Spring 86146570 windsor allstar javelin 5053 Windsor Sensor Axle 86137990 allstar javelin

You will also need to remove the screws on the inside that hold the motor in place because part of the side support for the swivel is under the motor. Remember to disconnect wires coming from the swivel as well before you try to pull it out, so that you do not damage them. Hope this helps.

I've worked on these a lot. What I think you're explaining is the bypass flow switch which is a common failure. It's located in the base inside the auction side of motor housing...

You should be able to take off the jet nozzles and clean them out. You may need a socket wrench possibly to get them out or they may be a quick connect kind that only take a quarter turn to remove the jet from it's holder. I would also suggest running a vinegar/water solution through the system to help clean any chemical residue out of the lines. Put a couple of gallons of hot water in the solution tank with a couple of cups of white vinegar and then plug the unit in and press the solution button and let the solution run for a minute or so and then let it sit over night if you can. Then push the solution button again the nest day and let it run for another minute or so and then drain the vinegar/water solution and put in fresh hot water and run it through for several minutes. Also, soak the jets in some of the vinegar/water solution over night as well and do all of the running of the water with the jets off so that you do not clog them up further. Hope this helps.

If you whistling is only happening when pulling back on the machine, the problem is with the connection between the bag housing and the swivel neck. There is a rubber gasket between the two, located on the bottom of the bag housing. Check to see if this seal is in place. If it is there and in good shape, check for excessive wear on either the swivel neck or bag housing. Windsor Sensor Vacuum Seal 5163 86144910 allstar javelin

Here is a user manual:http://www.manualowl.com/m/Eureka/Rally2-980AE/Manual/363569

Your Sensor most likely has an internal heat sensor that is shutting off the motor. Some vacuums install an external heat sensor with a reset button that you must push to re-start the vacuum. If your model does not have an external reset button it is most likely a sensor inside the motor. If it is defective the motor must be replaced to solve the problem. But first make sure the overheating is not being caused by a blockage somewhere or the bag is too full. Air must pass completely through a vacuum starting at the floor where it picks up the dirt through all the canisters, filters, bags, etc. and then is exhausted from the vacuum. Any restrictions or blockage can cause the motor to over heat. That Vac Guy

check power cable for brakes and cracks, replace if need be..
