After two days of troubleshooting and replacing bags, filters and foam shrouds, I finally checked the hose input connection hole (without the hose in it) and guess what? It almost sucked off my finger prints! Yup, it was the hose clog all this time. A few long pokes and shakes and it was all clean and I could pick up marbles from sic inches away! * *Why is it always the very last (and simplest) thing that you try?** ---joypebble -- And THIS is why the internet was created. Not able to fix my vacuum, I came here. Lo and behold! I also had a hose clog :-D |
