This is often caused by a failure of a fuse on the Sumo board, or
occasionally by a failure of the cord reel. Here are some instructions on how to check these things as a
response to a different thread, but I will repost them here:
--
There is a board in the back (called the "SUMO board") which has a fuse
hardwired to it. Most of the "no go" problems with this machine are
related to this.
In
order to check it, you'll want to take a thin flat-head screwdriver,
and gently pry up the silver panel on the top of the machine. The
easiest place to do this is on the side of the panel, as far toward the
rear of the machine as possible.
You will then need to remove
the 2 Torx screws on the rear panel, and the top body of the machine
should then be able to be removed. There are two clips in the bag
chamber, directly under the back portion of the bag compartment lid,
which can be pressed in to facilitate removal of the back cover.
The
sumo board will be sitting directly on the top of the machine, and the
fuse in question will be on the right if you are looking at it from the
rear of the machine. Unfortunately, if the fuse is blown, you will have
to replace the entire circuit board. (Unless you feel very comfortable
with soldering a new fuse onto it, which I do not recommend for safety
reasons.)
You can also check continuity of the cord reel from
here. On the right hand side of the board are two spade terminals
leading to wires running down into the cord reel assembly. One black,
one white. Checking the continuity between these terminals and the ends
of the power supply cord will allow you to determine if the cord reel
is providing power to the machine.
Accessing the cord reel
will require you to remove the six Torx screws holding the main body to
the base. Two of these are on the rear of the machine, and are very
deep inside; so you will require a very long-shanked Torx driver to get
at these. Two more are inside the bag chamber at the rear, and the
other two are on the front handle assembly. This will allow you to lift
the main body away from the base, and if you are replacing the cord
reel you can pull the wires from the spade terminals and the socket on
the sumo board, and feed them back down into the cord reel chamber to
remove the old cord reel.
Reassembly is simply a reverse of
the previous. Beware, however: getting the cord reel to align is
something of a chore, so make sure that you have the retraction system
functioning before you put the whole thing back together, or you'll be
bummed when you finish reassembly and the cord won't retract.
because it is stretched. It is probably slipping on the beater bar...
