Sherman, when you say the vacuum cuts out at 12 o'clock position, what do you mean? When you push & pull the vacuum when vacuuming carpets, does it have power going forward but cut off when pulling back? If so, I know what the problem is! I had this EXACT SAME MODEL years ago. There is a mini plug & mini receptacle that connects the base & top half of the vacuum together....what happens is pulling back on the handle causes the top half to separate just enough that it causes the mini plug & receptacle to separate, causing the vacuum's power supply to be interrupted. The way I fixed it was I bypassed the plug & receptacle, hardwiring the wires together.
Hope this helps you with your repair....Rob |
