This vacuum is virtually brand new. I hit the reset button but nothing. I left it unplugged for an entire day and when I plugged back in no indicator lights lit up. btw-this is the second vacuum exact same model that did this. The last one I had exchanged since it happened after a few days.
They aren't quality machines, they are made by Eureeka, not Electrolux. Aerus/ Electrolux is really the way to go!
Hi all
I have had the same problem with my electrolux. Took it back to the shop and they had it fixed-interestingly about 12 other people took theirs back for the same reason (it just stopped) Apparently a lot of problems with these models. Manufacturer aware.
I had same problem, wife was vacuuming the carpet and just quiet. Let sit over night plugged in, no lights just dead. Took canister unit apart (really easy 10 screws) found blown fuse (F5AL250) on motor PCB, soldered to board.They want anywhere from 70 -95 dollars for board to fix a .40 fuse. Went to Radio Shack bought fuse holder and pack of 5AL250 fuse for a whole $5. Solder the fuse holder in parallel put back together and fixed runs like a charm. Save money fix yourself.

I have had one of these for about 8 years now. Bought it brand new at about 600 bucks.
The telescoping wand broke, the power cord reel broke, the base neck piece broke multiple times, the roller wore out (though I'd say that's acceptable), the plug connector pins in the base collar and the wand also broke, the base plate just gave out-- honestly these pieces that break should really be made from cast aluminum-- not ABS or whatever they're made from.
To its credit, however, the motor is great, the suction is excellent and the hose hasn't given any sign that it is going to break. This machine has been used a LOT. We like a clean house, but there's 4 cats and 4 people, and we do tend to track the dirt in.
I'm really sorry I purchased this machine. Interestingly enough, my prior vacuum was a Eureka Express and it was great-- lasted about 15 years, and still the hose never broke, the power head worked great (roller still strong), the cord reel still worked and the suction was as good as the day I bought it.
THROW IT AWAY. TOTAL JUNK

Filter light came on so I changed the filters around as demonstrated instore. Vacuum started again but suction very poor. Then filter light came on again, motor felt rather hot then sudden\y there's no power. This happens everytime I start it up. Vacuum cleaner is less than a year old.
i have an electrolux bagless vacuum, one year old. when the filters need rotating to be cleaned the whole machine stops working. it has done this three times. been in to be fixed once to no avail
filters need to be changed over and cleaned. machine just stops working. three times this has happened. been in once to be fixed. pain in the butt.
Vaccuum stopped, no indicator light for filter cleaning, filter was dirty, followed instructions but vaccuum would not restart. Vaccuum is less than one year old.
Yes, needed a clean, 2 months old and the lights just keep flashing. Won't do anything.
