Your supposed to take out the plastic part that holds the bag but the way this unit is designed the lid will not close unless everything is inthere correctly so just make sure evverything in inserted correctly and keep trying! DO you still have your bag holder?

I hate to tell you this but parts for the turbo are not availible.You will have to replace the turbo nozzle.Last I heard they were very expensive.Like $180 . www.sewvac.com

maybe it is clogged. does the light go out if you turn it on with no bag?(for testing)
is the roller spinning?

Hi, BizRate.com has a lot of parts and attachments (including heads).

Hope that helps!

Hi, yes, the turbo nozzle can be broken down with just a little time and effort. The two plastic wheels in the rear pop out, and then you'll see 6 screws on the bottom of the unit. Once these have been removed, gently pry the top and bottom pieces of the turbo nozzle apart, and you'll have access to the belt, gears, and brush inside. Good luck!

Bummer! The rings are still there. They will either be lodged in the pick up nozzle or in the bag itself. Take the bag out, this will be am out door job due to the dust present. Open the bag and carefully search through the debris. They will be there. Don't throw that bag away until you find them.

Try removing the bag and closing the cover. Unless that piece that holds the bag has gotten loose, there isn't anything that should prevent that cover from shutting, so it may just be the way the bag is sitting.

Wait, there are two more screws that must be removed before the top shell will come off. They are located under the wheels. Pop the wheels out by simply inserting yoru finger or a small tool into the wheel and pulling straight up. Remove those two screws and then you can proceed as mentioned above.
When reassembling the head, if the shell does not snap back onto the base, check for plastic chips or other debris in the narrow slots on the underside of the shell. Clear these slots out and the head should easily snap back together.

you have to replace the cord winder. Since eureka bought out electrolux their product quality has really went down the drain.

I have asked the same question for my bosch forumula. I hope sombody help.

Take the lower portion of your wand to a vac shop and ask for a universal fit wide floor brush with NATURAL bristle. The soft bristle is much better quality and will clean deeper into grooves in your wood floor or and tiled area.
