open a philips vacuum cleaner (TCX 642)
trying to service a philips VC (TCX 642).
Need to open to clean the motor. Cant find a way in 4 screws removed from inside bag location allow case to partially split at hose end *but* its still firmly attached at the other end........ so.....there *must* be screws at the other (Wheel) end. Any ideas? I have searched all over the damn thing for an hour and cant find any obvious screws. They could be under the power/cord buttons.....but if so how do they come off so you can get at them? Can anyone poinbt me at a parts diagram for this thing? (note - I'm in oz and local services agents wont touch it cos it's european ) Thanks Al |

Disassembly Rule #1
If you have all the fasteners out and it won't come apart, you don't have all the fasteners out. Look for screws hidden beneath colored plugs, behind the wheels, under a label, etc. Also look for case tab locks along the clamped edges by prying gently.
