Francois, yes it's possible a wire isn't connected properly, but it's much more likely that the field coil wires in the motor that make the motor run on high speed burn out. This isn't the only canister motor known to do this - Kenmore 4.5 canisters with the high-low switch & Filter Queen & TriStar canisters with the high-low switch also burn out on the high speed, because it's used most often.
I would replace the motor, & have the repair shop replace it with a single speed motor. That way, it won't burn out like this again, & the speed control isn't even needed on a Electrolux since it has a bleeder valve on the hose anyways. Rob | ||

I understand what you wrote, but how would the high speed coils burn while I was fixing the bearing? I mean, both speeds were working before the fix, and now only low speed works, and I haven't used the vac in the meantime. I would not bring it to the shop to have the motor changed, I could easily chenge it myself. | ||

I can't believe I did that simple thing wrong even with a picture on hand... | ||
