Your Rainbow E series has lost suction power, because you need a new hepa filter, ot your water basin gasket is messed up, or the center motor gasket is messed up or out of position.
Make sure your water basin is not cracked or broken, also.
If you have any more questions let me know. I am a Rainbow seller, and a Rainbow expert also.
Thank you,
Ralph
Theexpertman... How would I tell what's what? I am deads broke and cannot offer a repair! I checked the basin, it's not cracked. It worked perfect last week. Where is the hepa filter? Maybe I can check that
Hi again, as long as you have an E or E2 Rainbow vacuum, which you can see your model information at the bottom of your vacuum canister, where the water pan attaches to it, you will see the model information on the bottom of your canister, by the separator. That separator should be cleaned after every use or so. A tooth brush is perfect for a separator cleaner, and is just like a Rainbow separator cleaning brush.
Uf you have the early E seroes, which is model E-2 there are two screws on the botom of the filter cover, which is that rectangular plastic cover that is where the exhaust blows out of your vacuum canister, and there are also two screws underneeth the little slip out cord holder tabs branket, that snaps off. There is a little slot on the sides of it, for sticking a screw driver in to snap it off. You will see the other two filter cover screws, when you snal off the plastic cord holder tabs bracket.
If you have any more questions, let me know. If you need anything, let me know that also. I am a Rainbow expert, and also a Rainbow seller, as well. I will fix you up with anything that you need, and want, also. Ok :-)

Hi again, One other thing, is that if you have any other E or E2 series other than the early E series, the filter cover snaps on and off, with two plastic clip tabs on the bottom of it.
If you wash it, only rince it with clean water, and allow it to dry thouroughly before reinstalling it. It could take a Week or longer to dry. If you do not allow it to completely dry before reinstalling it, it will be destroyed when you turn your vacuum on, if it is still wet, from the vacuum pressure blowing through the wet gepa paper filter material.
If you need anything els, you be sure and let me know. Ok :-)
You have a very great New Year, Ok :-)

I just removed a box with what seem to be a white filter inside. Do I rinse it with filter inside or is there a way to get filter out
I mistakenly caught the end of my sheet, it pulled it up, till I turned it off, now no suction
Do not rinse the filter. It will not ever be the same and you will risk mold problems. They should last between 8-10 years under normal use.

There most likely clog somwhere in the hose tube
If your Rainbow has lost performance, first two areas to check.
Belt in the power nozzle...
Belt for Power Nozzle EXCEPT the PN 12
HEPA Filter (Not applicable in any Dxx model Rainbows.)
HEPA Filter Neutralizer 2nd Edition for eSERIES
HEPA Filter Neutralizer 1st Edition for eSERIES
HEPA Filter Neutralizer for E2

Rainbow vacuum cleaner is not working but the carpet shampooer works. Is there some way to check to see if the vacuum cleaner is clogged?
Do you have a red light on top of the power nozzle?

SOURCE: remove suction motor on rainbow vacuum
Take off the water tank, remove the screw, should be four, that will separate the 2 pieces, remove the rubber seal, remove the screws, 8 If I remember, disconnect the wires to the motor, it should pull out. Replace motor, hook up the wires, screw it back together, glue the water seal back on.
SOURCE: weak suction on rainbow se vacuum
With years of use, you will collect a layer of "micro dust" on the impeller (the fan part) which reduces the efficiency. A toothbrush and some mild cleaner with gently scrubbing will restore it's power.
The impeller is that parts that spins that you can see when you take the top off to fill the water tank.
Hope this is the answer that you need!
SOURCE: Rainbow E Series Suction Problem
Being an E series some have a corrgated filter in the top, there is also a filter on the back. Could be a motor problem, not turning as fast as it should, in which case you will have to replace the motor. You might check, some had a 10 year warranty on the motor. If you are the original owner and only have had it 5 years, then it may be covered.
