So my wife's lux guardian does not work all of a sudden. When the wand is hooked up and i turn it on, there is power to the brushes,but still the motor in the canister does not turn on. Therefore, resulting in no suction. Any suggestions? ? Model Number cc154E. Also any insight on the new designed guardian platinum, and where I could get one without paying retail? Thanks in advance guys!
P.s. The bag is not full and the door is shut.

Jerry, it sounds to me to be either a faulty circuit board inside the canister, or a dead motor. However, since you say that the powerhead is still working, that tells me the two circuit boards must still be communicating with each other, so I would lean more likely towards a dead motor. Good luck with getting it repaired.

So many possibilities

Could be a bad motor. That's fairly simple. Or it could be in the hose. Loose or broken connection somewhere ( usually in the grip). I have seen the terminal blocks at the swivel go bad. Also seen the terminal just come unplugged. Then their is also the possibility of a bad switch board in the handle.

I'm sure even these things would be more reliable, my thread in the household department has proved that! tongue-out

Hamma214: It sounds like it's time for you to get a Kirby.

 

This problem would never happen if you had a Kirby.
