Electrolux Z5935 Bagged Canister Vacuum\015 I cannot get the power cord to catch and lock after I pull it out to plug it in. My old Electrolux would simply lock the cord each time I pulled it out. This model doesn’t seem to have a decent catch mechanism and recoils completely every time I pull it out. I have two machines and I have the same problem on both. \015

How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?

Actor Lloyd Bridges was the company`s spokesperson. In 2000, the North American rights to the Electrolux brand name were sold to Electrolux Group of Sweden, which since 1968 had been unaffiliated. The corporation that originally manufactured Electrolux vacuums has been known as Aerus since 2001.
Canister vacuums separate the motor and dirt container from the handle and (power) head. A hose connects the handle and head to a canister which houses the motor and dirt container. The choice of canister vs. upright vacuums depends heavily upon your usage, personal preference, and budget.
Bagless vacuums, as the name suggests, don`t use a replaceable bag that collects the dust and dirt from the surface. A bagless vacuum cleaning machine is compact and uses a dust cup or chamber to store the dust and dirt. The dust cup used in the vacuum cleaner can be easily emptied and cleaned.
If the vacuum cleaner stops suddenly, the filters should be checked to make sure that they are not blocked or that they require changing. This applies to both bagged and bagless models. Also check if the nozzle or hose are blocked.
Our customers love their Electrolux vacuum cleaners, and it`s easy to see why. Electrolux vacuum cleaners are known for their superior quality, suction power, and durability. Some customers noted that their old Electrolux vacuums lasted them over 30 years– that`s no small feat!
Founded in Sweden in 1919 by entrepreneur Axel Wenner-Gren, Electrolux has shaped living for the better for 100 years by reinventing what great taste, care and wellbeing experiences for our consumers. This is our story.
Canister vacuums tend to be lighter weight and easier to carry than upright vacuums (Example: the V-CAN-10 canister vacuum weighs 9 pounds while the V-DMU-14 upright vacuum weighs 24 pounds) They generally have better suction and flow rate, which can mean easier and faster cleaning for your cleaning team.
A canister vacuum will last you eight or more years. Most vacuums in this category are a bit like upright models but feature a larger, more robust body at the lower portion of the machine.
A bagged vacuum cleaner works in the traditional way of using a replaceable bag as a filter to trap the dirt while allowing air to flow through the bag. Bags must be replaced when they are full. Bagless vacuum cleaners use filters to trap dirt and debris in a dirt cup or chamber that can then be emptied.
A benefit of vacuum cleaner bags is that there is minimal contact with the dust and allergens. Just slip out the old bag and throw it away. No-fuss and no mess. Bagged vacuum cleaners also tend to hold a couple of pounds of dirt and debris and tend to better at deep cleaning.
Check that the vacuum cleaner is plugged into a working power outlet and that fuses and breakers don`t need resetting. An activated thermal cut-out due to a blockage is the next most likely cause of the problem. Check for blockages in the hose and filters, and remove any obstructions that you find.
If your vacuum cleaner keeps turning off, this could be due to the following reasons: Blockages – check the hose and head for any obstructions. Filter – always check your filters, if these are clogged this could be causing the vacuum cleaner to work harder and lose suction power.
Electrolux Group is a leading global appliance company that has shaped living for the better for more than 100 years. We reinvent lifetime taste, care and wellbeing experiences for millions of people, always striving to be at the forefront of sustainability in society through our solutions and operations.
In North America, the Electrolux name was long used by vacuum cleaner manufacturer Aerus LLC, originally established to sell Swedish Electrolux products. In 2000, Aerus transferred trademark rights back to the Electrolux Group, and ceased using the Electrolux name in 2004.

Electrolux oxygen 3 fuse
ANSWER : The fuse on my ELECTROLUX Oxygen3’s sumo board did have clear markings:.F5AL250V – this is a 5A/250V 20mm fuse made by BEL FUSE, however, any.other such fuse should work. The fuse on my board was blown (luckily,.what caused it seems to be a glitch as replacing the fuse was all that.I had to do). I got 5A/250V 20mm fuse from RadioShack and, expecting.that this could happen again, I also installed a simple (5A/250V-rated).automotive fuse holder (also from RadioShack) (the only fuse holder.that was available at a local store) and it works wonderfully now..Should the fuse blow on me again, I should be able to replace it in.less than 3 minutes.

Auto rewind for the electrolux oxygen 3 ultra
ANSWER : The Electrolux Oxygen 3 is a piece of ****. I was dupped into buying because Consumer Reports said it is a high quality product. Wonder how much they paid for that endorsement! I the brush roller design is flawed and clogs all the time and then will break, the electrical cord doesn’t rewind very easily and the swivel head just broke on me after a year and a half of use. RETURN IT! Just in case you didn’t know. Electrolux is the same brand as Hoover (same parent company) and I don’t like Hoover either.

I have an Electrolux Oxygen 3 vacuum I purchased rebuilt. After 1 month the power stopped working. I took it into Electrolux Authorized repair dealer, which was a horrible experience. When we received it back it was clearly not as powerful as before. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem may be? I would rather fix it myself than take it back to them. The next repair center is too far away. I am pretty good with fixing things, just needs some guidance. I think the repair center rep
ANSWER : Never have liked Electrolux doing any repair because it has been my experience that they don’t do what they say they did….if you can read between the lines…..give me a picture of the unit and more details and I’ll try and help you.

3 year old Electrolux Oxygen 3 will not turn on.
ANSWER : I had a situation where the main unit turned on and kept flashing its lights but I was unable to start it by pressing the buttons on the hose.
Turned out, the switch assembly in the handle was waterlogged. It is a two-wire resistance switch, so it is sensitive to water. It works again after I’ve cleaned the switch.
For a quick test, you can unscrew the contact panel at the back end of the hose and plug it in (you’ll have to keep pressure on the panel to make sure it stays in contact). If placing a short between the black and the white wire starts the motor but buttons on the handle don’t work it means the switch is contaminated. The switch is assembled using sticky glue, so it is possible to open it. Warming it with a hair dryer can help.

Oxygen 3 will not turn on
ANSWER : This is often caused by a failure of a fuse on the Sumo board, or occasionally by a failure of the cord reel. I just posted a rather extensive set of instructions on how to check these things as a response to a different thread, but I will repost them here:
.
.–
.There is a board in the back (called the “SUMO board”) which has a fuse hardwired to it. Most of the “no go” problems with this machine are related to this.

In order to check it, you’ll want to take a thin flat-head screwdriver, and gently pry up the silver panel on the top of the machine. The easiest place to do this is on the side of the panel, as far toward the rear of the machine as possible.

You will then need to remove the 2 Torx screws on the rear panel, and the top body of the machine should then be able to be removed. There are two clips in the bag chamber, directly under the back portion of the bag compartment lid, which can be pressed in to facilitate removal of the back cover.

The sumo board will be sitting directly on the top of the machine, and the fuse in question will be on the right if you are looking at it from the rear of the machine. Unfortunately, if the fuse is blown, you will have to replace the entire circuit board. (Unless you feel very comfortable with soldering a new fuse onto it, which I do not recommend for safety reasons.)

You can also check continuity of the cord reel from here. On the right hand side of the board are two spade terminals leading to wires running down into the cord reel assembly. One black, one white. Checking the continuity between these terminals and the ends of the power supply cord will allow you to determine if the cord reel is providing power to the machine.

Accessing the cord reel will require you to remove the six Torx screws holding the main body to the base. Two of these are on the rear of the machine, and are very deep inside; so you will require a very long-shanked Torx driver to get at these. Two more are inside the bag chamber at the rear, and the other two are on the front handle assembly. This will allow you to lift the main body away from the base, and if you are replacing the cord reel you can pull the wires from the spade terminals and the socket on the sumo board, and feed them back down into the cord reel chamber to remove the old cord reel.

Reassembly is simply a reverse of the previous. Beware, however: getting the cord reel to align is something of a chore, so make sure that you have the retraction system functioning before you put the whole thing back together, or you’ll be bummed when you finish reassembly and the cord won’t retract.
(I’ve definitely never done that. Nope. Never.)

Hope that helps, good luck.
