I’ve wondered for a long time why some L shaped Electrolux power nozzles have fixed rear wheels. I have three in my collection. One goes to a Regency series and the others go to the second or third version of the 2100 series. All my other L shaped nozzles have movable rare wheels. 2100 with PN 5, both LEs, epic 6000, Legacy, Marquis, diamond jubilee . Etc
If you put one of the new generic brushrolls in a PN with fixed wheels. The motor slows down and then gets hot. I have not tried one of my green brushrolls yet. It’ll probably do the same thing. Was this a cost saving measure by Electrolux? to not include the movable axel? Or an experiment in performance like the green brushrolls?. | ||

Cost saving, most likely... | ||

I've wondered why they had those in the past, when I had nearly all the "L" nozzles. I've never actually seen them move. It seems to take quite a bit of pressure to get them to flex. Let's face it, they WAY overbuilt their vacs back then. Nice collection and display. | ||

Loosen the belt Mine did this and the normal power nozzle motor whine was loud and deep, like it was straining. When I put the brushroll in, I tighten the belt a little, but the cogged belts are designed to have a little slack in them. When I put the slack back in the belt it stopped---go figure | ||

Motor
The motor got hot. If vacuum is having to drag the wheels it strains the motor. If you loosen the belt it may hear motor up more.
With the wheels dragging has nothing to do with the belt. I can see your point on carpet types. If you have your wheels in any vehicle drag it's a weight issue. Idk I say modify it to save money. Les | ||

Les What do the wheels dragging have anything to do with the motor getting hot? | ||

Hmm
Do you think the drag. You can't loosen a vacuum belt there not car belts so no tensioner. They have one fixed position.
If you have a load it drags in the rear. The drag is putting the strain on the motor. I can see if you change the ratio the belt rotates would help. It's what they do to tow help with drag. The belt might be on the pulley. Explain to me how a loose belt helps. There seems to be logic. I guess the added belt tension helps lessen the drag. I can see that but with motor fixed location spindle in fixed location you should throw a belt or it would come off. If it works great but the motor is not running at full potential. If you don't run motor and coil for designed specs motors don't last as long. I'm giving reasons for my logic. You just say loosen the belt. If you say jump off a cliff it's great. I'm not jumping until reasoning is provided. I could spout off just pick up nozzle only drag vacuum head towards you I do it all the time. Reasoning is human nature. Reasoning? Les | ||
