As stated above definitely mess where the hose goes into the unit.
If you're familiar with an ohms meter it's a quick troubleshooting process. If not bring it to a SEBO dealer who's reputable should be relatively reasonable to fix. If you have any trouble you're walking to send me the power head I do that sort of work. | ||

Thanks. Not the hose. Took to a dealer. They are trying to track down the issue. We'll see how this plays out. | ||

That sounds about right. I've paid $5 for vacuums that originally cost $200 and then had to put $40-50 into parts. Vacuum collecting is never an investment - always just for the fun. But Sebo, Miele, Riccar, when those things break you'll be bankrupt.
I'm betting some wiring got pinched in the handle or got kinked and broke internally and they have to order an entirely new neck to get the wiring fixed because the cord and switch is part of the handle assembly when bought. Whenever you have a vacuum that has internal wiring within a retractable handle - 9 times out of 10 the end of the handle will gradually cut into the wiring from the cord getting pinched between the sides of the tube or at the bottom. I think the Sebo Felix Rosso is a cool little vacuum but sadly never marketed to USA. I like how you can hold it like a canister and dust around with the hose and brush. | ||

@Tseg do you know which parts specifically that seems a bit high. sounds like they might be changing out more than a neck maybe a circuit board or they changing the main wiring harness in the rest of the machine?
Are they doing any sort of service or cleaning as well? I generally charge a flat labor fee $100-120 plus parts. It does seem a little bit high. I was wondering what specifically you were getting for that $350? Personally I'd consider replacing it for that price check out the link below. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacuumdevil's LINK | ||

Vacuumdevil, sorry for my confusing math recap... $350 includes acquiring the vacuum from auction, replacing all filters and the brush roll and finally, the cost of the repair. So I’m still ahead vs. a new one if I can get years of enjoyment from here with no additional repairs. | ||

Finally I got my Felix back from repair. It looks like the connecting collar to the power head was replaced with a dark grey part vs. the original brown. Beyond that, all seems to be working fine. | ||
