I have an electrolux Epic Series 6500SR. The cord needs to be replaced. Where can I purchase the cord reel? Thank You, Hank Maiorino

You need to replace the control valve. It's inside the canister under the dirt cup. If you want it done by a professional, call your local authorized Aeurus dealer.

Hi,
Go to aerusonline.com. They have a section under the "surface" heading that you can download the manual. If no Epic 6500 is showing, use the Legacy manual. Same thing.
Hope that helps. :-)

Unfortunately most cord reels cannot be repaired and must be replaced as a unit.

1) see the schematic attached: and proceed according. God bless you

Unfortunaly I don't have that wiring diagram. I am sure that the service manual can be ordred thru sears as they are the carriers for this material. What excactly is the issue and maybe we won't need the diagram.

This is caused by a broken retractor reel spring, you will need to replace the retractor.

This is usually caused by your full bag indicator shutoff switch.
The control valve has gone bad. This is the dial on the top of the vacuum that has numbers on it.
You cannot bypass this problem from outside the machine.
The part can be bought at the local outlet. Go to www.aerusonline.com and find A local dealer. It is not too expensive to fix, and is a common problem on later model electroux vacuums.

You really don't want to get into the vacuum. You could cause more damage than what you have now. After you do get into the vac, the cordwinder is another monster to get into.
There are two strips,one on each side of the cleaner under the rubber bumpers. The strips have to be removed by pulling off the bumper and pull them out the front of the vac.This is not easy. After you get the locking strips out, turn the vac over and pull the bottom off. Then you can see the cordwinder.
The best thing to do is take the vac to a Aerus/Electrolux shop for repair.

I have listed a link to the manual for your model and a link to the replacement belt you need. Hope it helps!
