Since on another post about yellowing plastic I decided to use my Aerus Lux Guardian Ultra so while vacuuming I noticed quite a bit of air coming out of the cord winder. Now I know this isn't one of the newer ones because of the gray cord but isn't this supposed to a sealed system? The pleated hepa filter is still clean along with the charcoal disk inside it, but I did notice when I ran it without it installed air was still coming out. Thank you for any help.

It wouldn’t be the first time for air leakage. I used to notice air leakage by the cord on my 1205, Renaissance and Epic 9000 canisters. | ||

No, there are no seals on the cordwinders. No sealants, rubber, and the plastic enclosures have lots of gaps on the edges. This post was last edited 05/24/2020 at 20:55 | ||

Yes it takes "C" bags
And I took it apart because I thought the same thing that the seal could be off or wasn't seated right but it isn't, the entire motor is sealed good. The back part that covers the cord winder is clean and doesn't have carbon dust on it either just like the rest of the inside. I had never noticed it before and the only reason I did is because I was cleaning out my car, had no shoes on & felt air on my feets, put my hand by the cord opening and was surprised.

I took it apart again
And found out the black case has only one tab holding it instead of all three. I taped it back together and tried it, that was the problem. Now when I get more time I will see if I can get a new case or just find a better way to keep things tight in there.
Now there is a clear tube which is connected to a red tub that connects to a round piece on the motherboard. There are three lights on it and the Aerus sign that lights up, well it used to and also I did something to it because now the middle temp light stays on all the time when it's running even though there is nothing blocking anything. Oh well it works and the closest Aerus dealer is 2hrs away with a time change. Again if I get extra time I might go and see what's wrong with it but it's not a top priority right now.

Yes it was owned by someone else
and was taken care of but I think it was dropped @ some point and where the Aerus emblem is there's a gash in there so that no longer lights up but everything else works good, the suction is strong with a 10.0 w/out power nozzle, 11.5 amp motor w/power nozzle. Funny how each model has different amperage, my Ultralux Classic has 9 amps w/out & 11 amps with, and the Ultralux 2000 has 7.5 amps w/out & 9.5 amps with. I would have thought the Classic had more suction then the 2000 but not really and it has a newer OEM hose.
