Here are some pics of my Dometic, a trade with Doug Smith. He had the canister and powerhead cord, and I had the powerhead. I recently saw a thread about the European z345, and thought I would share pics of mine. Here in Canada they were badged Dometic 245. I am also hoping that someone can help me with some parts, maybe some of our esteemed European memebers! Pardon any dust! Guy

OK...
now the parts I need. The front wheel is missing, I'd like a colour correct electrolux tool, and the motor is having issues! I'm hoping to get a lead on the front wheel and maybe the dusting tool from one of our Euro members? Now the motor is going to be a real challenge! They still sell a 220v motor for the Euro Z345, looks just the same as whats inside mine. However I would need the 120v. I have phoned a dozen local shops, of course without succuss. Any ideas?

Hey Guy: The Electrolux 345 didnt have the electrical connection for the powerhead. To my knowledge the powerhead was made by Electrolux but in Germany or Sweden as the English Electroluxes didnt come out with one till much later. As far as motors - try contacting Modern Vac in Edmonton. They still sell the European tank type Electroluxes under the Modern Vac name so they may have parts. Their machine uses the Eureka Powerhead though so no luck on that score. If that doesnt work you could also try Viking in the USA. Doug | ||

What are the issues with the motor? Electric motor shops can rebuild almost anything, and can even rewind the motor if it is shorted. | ||

Wow Own Brand
They really need to get a colour photo of their own model "Modern Vac"....where is this from?? its like the Lux 358T series we had here, although the lower diagram pics make it look wider like the large Lux JumboMatics!! Does anyone have one, itching to see what colourway it is...very quiet & powerful, the best of Electrolux - IMHO!!! Thanks Doug for the link!! | ||
