Electrolux, Aerus, Centralux Vacuum Unit Services Q&A

If I was to "exhaust" my 1580 (or a newer one if I can't get mine up and running with a new motor) to an outside wall...how far can I run the tubing? The outside wall is about 25 feet away?

I have a Lux Legacy with a similar problem to one you addressed previously. With a clean bag in, the unit starts up and immediately shuts off. If you hold down the bag switch it will stay on. You previously answered this problem as a bad bag switch. I wedged the switch down, put in a clean bag and the unit started and immediately shutdown. Therefore, it's not the switch. I can't find a control diagram for this, but it appears to me that this is a bad differential pressure switch. With the slightest of pressure drop, even by a clean bag, the switch is cutting off the motor. But without a bag, not pressure drop and the motor will stay on. So, how easy is it to replace the pressure switch and is it still available? Mark in Portland, Oregon

Our Electrolux supervalves were made in the early 1990's. They do not have the trapezoidal recess in the faceplate where the 6 inch high voltage cord plugs in--the surface is flush. Can I somehow still use these new supervalves? Harry, Pittsburgh, PA

carl, ewing,nj I want to move a unit to a different part of basement, do I need special tubing or is pvc fine?

I just purchased a home with a Centralux E130f system. I have no manual or any info on how to use the system. Does this system require a bag or just a filter? Having a hard time finding a manual online. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ken from Owen Sound, Ontario

Neville in Montreal. I have an Electrolux model 1580, serial # C01249A, 125V, 12.5Amps. The mark on the bottom of the motor is GSE/Voorlas E51550. Could you please tell me what is the replacement motor for this model. Thanks.

Our Centralux is 10 years old and today I noticed a burnt smell in the room, where it is located. Does that mean the motor is going? If yes, what motor do I have to order for Model E130G ?

I have a CentraLUX central vacuum which was running very well. The unit motor seems to run fine but there is no suction from any of the outlets in the house or where the unit is mounted in the wall. Can you advise what the problem may be. Thanks.

I have an Electrolux Central Vacuum system that I just love. It is about 22 years old. I've noticed lately that it screams loudly when I use it. From what I have read hear, it sounds like the motor is going. Is this correct? It shows Model#1590 and Serial number# C118667B LF2 Volts 120 Amps 13.0 HZ 60. I live in Canada.

After running flawlessly for 2 years, my CentrLux Aerus, model E130J, serial M06265W has begun tripping the GFI outlet. I ran a seperate line to the vac (with a GFI outlet) and it continues to trip. Could the brushes be going bad to create this problem? Thanks ..........John Thomas

When I plug in my Electrolux tank vac the power supply light lights up and nothing else happens. A time or two in the past the vac would quit and do this if I was using it a lot. But it only had to set up to 5 minutes to turn back on again and work just great. Now it won't do anything when I turn it on. Colleen Loa, UT

My central vacuum system runs normally but the power to the brush won't start. What is the problem? Peter from Vancouver

I would like to know how to remove & clean the filter on model 1590. My employer just moved into a house with this model. There is no manual & I pulled about 3 inches of dirt off the filter. Thank you for your time. Jane from Martintown , Ont.

My 6500 sr smells when we use it. The exhaust smells like the dog even though no hair evident in the hose or intake. How do I fix it, tried new filter but didn't help, only gets better when a completely empty bag is used but once anything gets in there it starts to stink again

Jan; Anchorage, AK Electrolux Epic 6500sr: The carpet power head goes on and off repeatedly, in quick succession, while in use (the main unit runs fine). All other attachments work fine. Could a bad reset button be the cause? If so, can you assist in finding a replacement? Thank you!

I have an electrolux Gazelle model no Z4733 and dont have any suction, we have replaced the drive belt and cleaned the filter, and the hose is not blocked

I am looking for a kit that comes with hose, vacuum etc. for a Centralux, Electrolux E130G

How can I fix my electrolux epic 6500 SR vacuum? My vacuum shuts off saying the bag is full when it is not. It runs fine with the hose off but as soon as you put the hose on it shuts off again.

Can the large, blue filter be hand washed and reinstalled when thoroughly dry?

I have Electrolux E130A which does not turn on at the direct low voltage hose switch. It used to work fine for more than 9 years. The low voltage measured at the unit outlet is far below 24VDC (I measured around 2VDC) and if I shorten it at the unit the motor turns on. Does it mean I need to replace the board? Is the low voltage outlet supposed to give 24VDC or 24VAC? The relay and the transformer in my unit are soldered on the circuit board... Nash, Toronto

Question: I have a Aerus Centralux model E130F central vac system. I was using the unit and it just stopped working? I checked the circuit breaker and it was not tripped. I pushed in the white reset button on the motor and still nothing? Do you have any suggestions as to what I might try to fix the unit? Could it be the motor? Thank you, Scott S.

Hi. I'm Tom from Staten Island. I have an Electrolux Epic Series 6500 SR and it stopped working indicatin the bag was full. I replaced the bag and filter with Model C Aerus bag and the unit started but then immediately stopped with an indication that the bag was full again. I tried a second, brand new bag. Same result. I opened the door, took out the bag and held down the button/switch by hand and the motor ran fine all while I held the switch down by hand even when there was no bag in the chamber. I put the new bag back in, started it and held the button/switch down by hand and it ran but as soon as I let go of the switch and the cardboard front on the bag pressed on the switch, it stopped immediately with an indication that the bag is full. Could you please help me? Thank you.
