Default Electrolux central vac question


"Splash1" wrote in message
...


anyone have any experience with them ?

was just using mine, and it looks like
the low voltage control board might've
quit.

i toggled the on/off switch on the handle
too quickly by mistake (ie. was on, went
to off position, then quickly on) - now it
won't shut off (the motor).

from looking it up, seems the electrolux
boards had a high failure rate (this unit
is 10 yrs old though, and i guess i got my
moneys worth).

anyone have experience repairing them ?

TIA



Does the central vac startup when you short the two terminals on the wall
plug?

If so then it's the handle switch.
Take it apart and clean, repair or replace the switch.

Failing that, wire the switch permanently on, and use the wall plug as a
"switch"
