Try just connecting the two wires together, if it runs then it is the breaker. Incidentally they aren't actually a switch. They are a breaker. If it is the breaker take the blue swich cover off (It just slides off) then use a flat screw driver to pry up the two metal tabs you will find under it. That will allow you to remove the breaker from the housing. Take it to an Aeris dealer (Or most vac shops) and they should have a replacement.

thanks. Well that clears up that question. Now if I can get some advice about why this power nozzle won't work, I'll be set! | ||

It's a regular circuit breaker, the switch slides over the red button of the circuit breaker, off and reset push the red button down and disconnect the power, on leaves the button up in the on position. You can use a circuit breaker from another model but you may have to shorten the red button a bit and round it over so the switch lever will slide on it.

Two things
One have you tried connecting the power nozzle to some test leads to see if it works independent of the vacuum? If it runs then the problem may be with the hose or the vacuum. Two if the bag full light is coming on this is caused by the control valve ( that dial on top of the vacuum) that senses the difference in the suction between the bag chamber and the front opening. When the control valve opens (diaphragm pushes up on a pin in the valve and the suction goes into the tube that goes to the diaphram in the switch control housing) it moves the diaphragm which rocks a lever and shuts off the power and turns on the bag full light. When you turn off the switch it resets the rocker and switch. Unless the rocker under the large rectangular button broke in which case it would either stay powered up or powered off. Hope this helps | ||

The bag control doesn't go by how much is in the bag. It measures air flow. So if you have vacuumed up some very powdery dust it can coat the inside of the bag and make it shut off because air isn't getting through even though there is little in the bag.
Try this - put the powernozzle back together, connect it all up, switch both the pn and the machine on then wiggle the hose at the place where it goes into the machine. Quite often the connections there wear or break so there is no power getting to the powernozzle. If the powernozzle cuts in and out as you move the hose up and down at the machine then the throat probably needs to be replaced. | ||

Success! Thanks so much Collector2! I put it back together, put in a fresh bag, sprayed contact cleaner on all the electrical contacts and now it works!! | ||
