How to open lux legacy video - Electrolux Lux 7000 Bagged Canister Vacuum

There is a trigger/sensor that activates when a new bag is replaced. Check to see that it is not stuck or dirty and moves freely when touched.

Check filter door cover is on tight, latch is locked. This happened to me with another brand.

You first have to knock out the plastic "plug" under the bottom of the handle and also pop off 2-3 small screw covers, about the size of a pencil eraser, on the top of the handle. Now remove the screws with the proper jewelers screwdriver or star driver and gently pull the handle apart (top and bottom). Be careful to pay attention to where the wires lay inside the handle then remove the handle from the hose. Voila! There's your answer....Hope that helps!

Service manuals are only availabe to franchise owners and service technicians in authorized Aerus stores. They're available to those personnel through software Aerus provides to them.

This vacuum has a 10 year warranty on the motor, and 5 years on everything else. Look in the yellow pages under vacuums, for the AERUS dealer, that is the new name for the traditional Electrolux company.....

Actually the problem is inside of the canister itself. You need to change a part called the control valve. Occaisonally when fine particles get inside of the valve it damages the inside of the valve, sending a false reading to the main motor, causing it to shut off. This is a relatively quick and easy repair and should be recieved on a same day basis.

i would say it is over heating but some times you cant tell because electrolux have a sensor so when the get hot the turn off till they gool down soo if you really like the vacuum get it look at by a vacuum repair man.

hope this helps
