I have no idea why there's no power. As for the cord winder, if it won't retract, then the spring is sprung This needs professional repair. The spring is a strong steel coil, and razor sharp. Do not attempt to work with it, you could be baddly cut! The only thing I can think of is that the cord has been severed inside the winder.
Get it to a repair shop. |

Did the cord winder terminal(s) dislodge/break off? That might be the cause for the Lux to not operate & the cord winder jammed. |

With the 2100, I would say just replace the cord reel I had the same problem with mine. |

If you were getting a grinding sound chances are either the contacts have bent / broken, or the rings on the take up reel have broken loose. As you mention that the cord isnt rewinding I would suspect the latter. The cord breaking at the reel is also quite common. Either one is an easy fix. And dont be intimidated by the spring - it isnt a problem if you treat it with a bit of respect. I'm thinking that a broken piece of the reel may have jammed the spring too - not allowing it to retract.
The reel itself is about a $15 part but you can buy a complete cord reel assembly if you dont feel up to the repairs. Doug |
