Help! My Renaissance went nuts! It won't shut off unless I unplug it. The brushroll control on the hose does respond though (brushroll turns off/on), but I lose all of the power features (won't do low or medium, only high). Are there any Electrolux folks here that can tell me what's wrong before I take it in to Aerus? Or anyone who can provide me with the parts? Thanks, KC

I'm pretty certain that you need a new hose. They aren't cheap but it should fix the problem your are having with you Renaissance. I have an original first edition dark gray Renaissance now and previously had the later lite gray colored model and I have been very lucky to not have any trouble with the digital hose controls. Aerus/Electrolux vacuums have always been able to put up with a certain amount of abuse and keep on going, as can the Renaissance machines, however their hose handle can not handle much abuse. You must take care of the digital handle, make sure you don't drop it frequently or bang it against walls or furniture. The computer board inside the hose is some what fragile and can be damaged easily. If you do replace the hose make sure it is not subjected to abuse or you will find yourself replacing it again. This was one of the reasons why Electrolux changed the hose handle to the later slide switch controls that the Epic 8000 and beyond had instead of continuing with the digital touch pad style like the Renaissance.

Seth, I'll e-mail you about parts... I also lost my dusting brush and sidekick II when I moved last and really miss them, if you happen to have those pieces.. I'll call Aerus tomorrow to get a quote on the hose as I kind of feel like it might be worth it to have a 'new' one so it doesn't happen again.. but we'll see how much. Thanks for your help guys!
