I have no idea how to fix the cord winder. But, I will tell you that years ago while taking apart a 1980's Electrolux HiTech 2100, I was atempting to fix the cord winder and it cut my hand pretty badly. They may not look very sharp, but trust me they are, and they can quickly and unexpectedly shoot out from where it is wound. Not exactly the type of object you would ever want to come flying at you. Make sure you wear some HEAVY GLOVES, gloves like you might use if doing construction or heavy duty gardening, a pair that will not tear easily and will protect your hands from the sharp edge of the coil. I haven't ever had the need to fix a Lux cord winder since my last incident but I would never go near another one without gloves on.

Thank you all for the helpful tips. I will definately wear gloves. Don't feel like getting mutilated anytime soon. |

Hey Collector! You're right. There was a metal locking ring that snapped into a groove on the swivel-top and held it into the lid. Were you lucky enough to get a hose or tools with the G.E.? Keep us posted, Toby G. |

I think I will go to Lowes and see if they have some type of ring that will hold the swivel on and also a cord that I can replace the cut one with. |
