It's just the switch, right? |

Over the weekend, I picked up a heavily discounted Kirby Sentria II. It briefly powered on and all sounded well, except it only powers on maybe every 30 foot-switch clicks or so. I swapped the power cord with a known good one and no change in turn on behavior. Adn yes, the bag and nozzle connections were fully seated.
I did get it to briefly power on for over 10 seconds and the motor/bearings sounded perfect. So I take it that this issue can be resolved by replacing the switch? I just want to make sure I order all the parts necessary to make this beast run (which so far appears just to be the switch). And I am surprised that if the issue really is just the switch, a 2012 Sentria II has a part that failed so quickly. Bill | ||

it is possibly the switch or the safety switch, I have had issues with the safety switches in the past on the earlier G series machines. | ||
