Ok guys, the has never worked in 15 years finally got to me! Took the front cover apart and found the plastic base of the selector, with 3 hoses on it had a small melted hole on the front, soldering iron maybe? Guessing that this is why it has never asked for a new bag. Sealed it with silicone , looks pretty good. But will it work? I have used that guy till it was coming out of the bag in an attempt to make it shut off, NOPE. Maybe now? Should I keep looking. d.

This may or may not help your situation, but make sure all the hoses are clear. Over time fine particles of dust get trapped inside these hoses because the system measures the suction right where the hose connects. Make sure the hoses are flexible and connected. Somebody did a wonderful job on a thread awhile back describing how the bag ejection system works. |

Wow! I can't believe this is from 2007! I was only 30 years old back then! Here's a thread on the operation of the automatic control. I think there have been others too. Rick CLICK HERE TO GO TO crevicetool's LINK |

I think I have made progress guys!Thanks Rick for the link, interesting!! And to be so young! Finger over the port did not make it pop open. However, my bag is about 1/3 full now with garage muck, with the machine running, if I pull off the hose from the canister, light, pops open on 1. on 2 no, so guessing working ok now?? Made me pretty happy. Thanks to all for any input! d.
