Power cord will not fully unwind.  Is there any way to open cleaner to find out why?  telbel1

Answers :

OK, but be warned... it's not so difficult getting the thing apart, but making a neat job of reassembly has been known to drive grown men to despair.  And that's because you have to remove the airbelt.  But first things first:1.  remove the hose2.  remove the hose-retaining ring3.  remove the flap that covers the green filter.4.  remove the screw beneath that flap nearest to the handle (there's a deeply recessed screw on the other side, but you can ignore that)5.  remove the clip at the back of the machine where the airbelt joins (lever it off carefully with a screwdriver)6.  this is where it begins to get interesting.  The airbelt is in two parts - the bulky foam strip and a thin material cover.  The cover is held in grooves, top and bottom, running all the way round the machine, by two thin plastic strips around which it is wrapped and which just slip into those grooves.  The first challenge is to get those strips, and the covering material, out without damaging them.  Just prise one end out with a small screwdriver and work your way around the machine - it's more a matter of patience than anything else. ( The second challenge is getting it back neatly!)  7.  remove the ends of the foam strip far enough to reveal two plastic clips that hold top and bottom of the body together8.  prise those clips off with a screwdriver.9.  it should now be possible to lift the top cover off.  It can be a bit fiddly getting it off over the neck where the hose plugs in, but it does come off.10.  the cable rewind spool is now revealed in all its glory.11.  if you've found my advice helpful so far, here's a final piece... don't try to fit a new cable to the old spool - fit a complete new spool.12.  good luck!I value feedback, so please remember to rate this response.

I have a Royal 7910 extractor and even though I vacuum before cleaning the carpet, by black cocker spaniel's hair gets pulled into the plastic pick-up attachment and I cannot find an easy way to clean it out.  I have tried taking the screws out to separate the halves, but it seems as though they might be glues together.  I have run water from a sink sprayer though the openings with some degree of success, but it still is pretty cruddy.  I have tried snaking pipe smokers pipe cleaners up the pick

Retractable power cord on vacuum cleaner is jammed. 

My electrolux ambassador power wand quit working.  I replaced the switch that shuts it off when the roller stops, but it wasn't the problem.  The on/off switch is fine, the motor is fine.  We have traced the problem to the wires inside the canister by opening the inside cover to the bag container.  We see the power cords going into the canister but we're not able to get to anything.  We can't find any screws to undo that would open it up in order to follow the wires deep into the canister.  We've bypa

Miele S5000 (revolution 5000) vacuum cleaner - How do I open the casing?  When the power button on the handle is pressed the green power-level lights on the handle light, but the motor sounds like it gives a little 'jump' but nothing more.  The orange power light on the body also dims.  I assume the motor or fan is jammed, but I can't open the body to find out.  I've taken out to screws inside near either end of the handle, but to no apparent effect.  I'm assuming the body is held together by plastic

My Miele bags for S241 vacuum cleaner have just been replaced by the new HyClean bag.  There are less in the box and you can't empty them either - a mesh of cords being in the way.  I knoe you're not supposed to empty them but for econpmy's sake I do.  Can you still buy the old non Hyclean type? 

The old style bags are not available any longer.  The new HyClean bags have a larger capacity then the original style.  You get the same amount of capacity out a box of the new bags as you did the box of the old.  I know they are still expensive.  I ...

My Kenmore 7520 canister vacuum has a problem with the retractable cord.  It has jammed and does not come out or retract.  It jammed half way through the retracting action.  Cannot pull it out or retract.  Would like to know how to open the canister to take a look for the problem.  Thank you

Mine is a much older Kenmore 840 which for years has only retracted the cord part-way.  I expect there is dirt in the retrieval mechanism but can't get at it.  HOW do you open this type of vacuum when it seems sealed all around and there are no nuts, bolts or screws visible? 

The automatic cable rewind on my Morphy Richards pod vacuum cleaner keeps retracting.  I'd rather it didn't work at all than be constantly pulling out the cord.  Is there any way in to fix it or disable it? 

Hi\015\012Not really.  It means that the cord has been pulled roughly when its been plugged in and the retracter is getting weaker to hold the cord that has been pulled out.  Generally though wipe the entire cord from the end of the machine with a dry ...
