I have a 2 year old Electrolux ergorapido cleaner that gets used daily for about 2/3 min, the blue light on the stand comes on when the cleaner is put on to charge but fades after about 5 min & the batteries dont charge, would this be a faulty ac adaptor or worn out batteries

Which model do you have? The Ergorapido EL1014A has a charging station. On that model, the charging adapter plugs into the port on the bottom of the floor section of the charging station. This port is below the wall section of the charging station. For the Ergorapido Lithium Ion Plus 2 in 1 vacuum, EL2055B, the charger plugs into a port on the back of the main vacuum above the neck to the roller brush head. For a picture of the charging port location, see https://moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/electrolux-ergorapido-vacuum-review/ . Scroll down to the Battery section to see the appropriate image.

I hope this helps. The manual for the EL1014A is much clearer about charging the vacuum.

@Lenora Martucci - I have the same question. I cannot find where the charger is supposed to plug into either the stand or the vacuum itself. It is maddening

sounds like the battery has gone short and perhaps blown the fuse to protect it from further damage

I would recommend thoroughly cleaning all filters, most likely the high setting is overheating the motor and the thermal protection circuit is tripping. In other words, the motor isn't "breathing" well.

Christmas 2013 I was given an Electrolux ergorapido. I put it on the charger and red light won't come on or if it by chance does it flashes three times and then cuts off.

If the hand held is working correctly (By itself) try pulling up a little bit on the 4 metal connection tabs on the wand. The connection tabs were not making a proper connection on my unit.

I took mine completely apart, removing every screw to get to the motor which was full of lint, hair and god knows what. I removed all the debris I could by hand, put it back together, and it works like new. I think debris gets in if the filter part is pushed too far down and the hole in the cup is open to the top part. My husband wanted to throw it out but I figured "what the heck". It's broken, it won't get more broken if I take it apart, it's only a year old.

If it will not come on there are several things you need to check. First off you should call and have your model type and serial number checked to be sure your unit isnt affected by the recall they had due to expanding batteries. Second you do have a 2 year warranty on the unit and if it wont even turn on there may be a defect. Are the blue charging lights coming on? If they are and your transformer is warm then there is more then likely a defective battery in the unit and you should contact customer service at 1800-896-9756

Try turning the knob on top of the machine all the way to the right and try it again
