Top 20 Electrolux UltraLux 2000 Bagged Canister Vacuum Questions & Answers

treat this like a stuck jar lid. put it under hot tap water for about 30 seconds then try and get it to release. Make sure your vacuum is unplugged and only let the connection get wet

Several possible problems can cause it not to run. The cord reel often gets lint in side and fails to conduct. Carbon brushes in the motor could have worn out. One of the interlocks that keeps it from working with the bag out can be broken. You need to take this to a local vac shop.

The Discovery II was manufactured in 1986 originally and remade a few years later. The earlier ones did not have any extra filters but can be added like the later ones. There\'s a pre-motor filter that can be added and an after bag filter kit available as well. These help to keep the "fine" dust to a minimum and are helpful to any allergy sufferers. Hope that helped!

not sure what you mean, I assume you are trying to access the inside.Oneach side of the machine there are sliders. The long rubber deal on the sides.Theses slide out..be careful and make sure the machine is unplugged....

HI, It was most likely pulled out too far and the spring is broken. Best suggestion is to replace the complete cordwinder assy., cord and all..then you're good to go. I can service it. [email protected] Hope that helps.!

Hi,If this Epic 6000 is shutting off when you either just turn it on or while vacuuming with it...it\'s one of several things...1. Change the bag if you\'ve been picking up a lot of "fine" dust such as drywall dust or carpet freshener powder. That\'s ******* them. 2. Being the machine is over 22 yrs. old, the suction control valve inside either needs to be replaced or just cleaned well. This is the usual cause of the vac shutting off especially if you\'ve tried the dial in several different settings. Hope that helps!

Symbols..Question mark means "Put a bag in me", checkered light means : "Change me, I'm dirty"....pre-lit power light means: "You have Powaaa" to the unit and the thermostat light means the motor is too hot if it comes on, (most likely from a hose clog) and needs to cool down before the motor will run again. The settings on the control valve basically have to do with the auto shutoff when the bag needs changed. The lower the valve is turned, the more full the bag will get until it shuts off. Hope that helps!

It's either a faulty nozzle reset switch, the belt was replaced with too much tension, or the pn motor needs svcd. or replaced.. Hope that helps!

The two slides/bumpers on the side of the body are tapped from the back toward the front. Make sure the bag compartment lid is open first. Body will come apart that way but most likely isn't for the inexperienced. With 30 yrs. experience dealing almost exclusively with the original Electrolux, I have a legitimate store front business and do service by mail at a reasonable cost if interested.

on the side of the vacuum there are rubber guards.These slide off....pull them off with a pair of needle nose.pull the slides off from the front. then open the front cover,at the bottom there are a couple little "nibs" that hold front off..Gently put a flat screw driver in and pull up..The machine will then be readt to open.best way is to put machine upside down and take the bottom off...

the rubber sile slide off.Please be very careful as the winder is controlled by a metal coil and is under a little of pressue and very sharp.....

Check if the hose is all clear becaus if there us an obstruction. It will tell u that u need a new bag!

The locking mechanism inside the cord winder is defective and needs repaired or replaced. Hope that helps!

The on/off switch is defective and shorting out. Left alone, it could cause a fire, so replace the switch.

Most appliance manufacturers offer PDF manuals for their products on their website.

This machine model is a real bear to work on. It's a relative to what used to be called the "special model". I'm not sure if they purposely engineered it so that it was extremely difficult to repair or if that just came as a by product. If the switch is the problem you have to take the housing apart with the unit laying upside down, and this is accomplished by removing the rubber side bumpers by grabbing them at the rear of the machine with a pair of long nosed pliers and pulling. Sometimes they come off fairly easily, most times not. Once the bumpers are off, the unit becomes two halves. Lift the bottom section off and lay it aside while you take the vac bag chamber out of the top section and lay it aside. You should be able to see the switch at this point so that you can remove it and check it for continuity on and off. If it's faulty then you need to order a new part, if not then you need to check the cord assembly to make sure that's good. Whatever you find that's bad will need to be replaced, then re-assemble the unit and it should work fine.

1. Check the hose for blockages. Do this by dropping a coin, marble, or other small round object down one end, raising hose and letting it fall out the other end. It can usually be cleared by attaching hose to blower, pointing other end outside, and turning on. 2. Check for blockage in the power head elbow. 3. Check the afterfilter. It's locater under the plastic cover on the top of the back of the vacuum. 4. If you have fine dust in your area, make sure the dial on top is set at the smallest dot. This will allow the bag to fill fuller. Regarding fine dust, never use it to vacuum up sheetrock dust. It will go right through the bag and into the motor, quickly ruining it. If none of these problems exist, take it in to have it checked out. Overheating is normally due to a blockage of some sort.

Let it sit for 30 minutes before trying to use again. Make sure the bag is not full and check to see if filter is clogged.

Check for a clog in hoses or wand, your motor is trying to cool itself, in that effort apparently there is limit good air getting to the motor. Clean filters, change bag, unclog hose. If your thermal coupling is now bad, you may have to replace or remove. this is the item the manufacturer has installed to keep you motor from burning up from over heating.

Make certain the bag door is properly closed.
