Wash the fans in sissy warm water and dry them well.
Does sissy warm water come with a Tutu?
Gotta be one of the better cell phone spell-check blunders.

~ It might be due to cracked or broken motor mounts. If they're messed up, the thick rubber gasket around the motor won't get a tight seal against the motor housing and the suction will be wimpy.

Thanks for your help. I think I may have goofed when reassembling everything after servicing the motor. Can you tell me how the four wires should be hooked up to the switch? I really should take pictures as I disassemble. It would make my life so much easier. |

Thanks for the link regarding the electric motor bearing grease. It's always good to use high quality materials. Mike |

Wiring a Model G
The Electrolux switch should be wired as follows: One lead from motor and one from receptacle should be joined together under one gold screw. There are two gold screws, so each should go on through the single motor and single receptacle lead wire. It matters not which one of the two motor and two receptacle leads you use, as long as you only use one each. |

I thought about my post after I sent it and wondered if my advice was appropriate for this vacuum. Sorry about that. |

Everything is all done. Thank you to everyone who helped me with this project. Now, I will start working on my Electrolux 1205. Much appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

Owners have had trouble with the 1205 carry handle though. I reply: Yes, one of the first things I noticed about my Super J when I got it was the superior design of the handle. The 1205's handle is very fragile and poorly designed and the replacements are ridiculously expensive. I was lucky to find one for mine on eBay last year for about a quarter of the retail price. Otherwise, I would have just ground down the broken off spot on the original handle so it would be more comfortable to hold. To prevent the handle from breaking, it is best to lift the machine by the smaller cross member instead of the longer part that runs lengthwise. The attachment point on that tail end is woefully inadequate. |
