i have one of these, original box etc. does not have a cord winder (it was an extra add on) but has the L shaped delux (at the time) power nozzle. it has very good suction and is one of my fave luxs. joe |

Was the foam between the motor and the plastic motor cover? If so, then I doubt that is your problem. I'd be looking between the motor and bag case. |

Go to a fabric store and purchase a piece of foam and use the old gasket as a pattern and cut out a new piece.You will be back in business soon. Richard Groski |

You've got to have an air-tight seal between the front fan intake and the back of the motor. Many cylinders like Electrolux support the motor/fan case inside a rubber ring (to cut back on vibration and noise) that clamps tight around when the motor is bolted in place or is sandwiched between the two case halves. This gasket would not be made of foam because of foam's inherent porosity. Foam is used for particulate filters. Check again exactly what the motor unit is seated against or mounted in. Often it can be a rubber diaphragm ring and sometimes they tear in the thin cross section. I've succesfully repaired these by first sewing the tear closed flat edge to edge with large stitches, then contact rubber cementing a section of sheet rubber - like from an innertube - as a new layer, trimming away the excess, then remounting the motor through it's old bolt holes and voila! new leak-less seal. dave |
