Electrolux hose pipe

You haven't specified which end of the hose you're working on. If you are trying to remove and replace the connector on the end that attaches to the vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, it is not a user replaceable part. It was permanently attached at the factory. Even Aerus/Electrolux dealers can't fix them.

If you are working on the other end of the hose, which connects to the wand and/or tools, you're in better luck. The grip is easily removable. Just remove the two screws on the underside and carefully lift off the cover they hold in place, starting at the end closest to the metal tip so that the end closest to the hose itself comes off last. Be gentle because that cover is fragile. Once that is removed, the grip slides right off.

All that said, if the hose you're working with is a woven one, chances are it's shot anyway. They tend to deteriorate from the inside and leak badly. There is no real way to repair that. If the hose looks presentable, it's okay for display purposes but if you want to actually use the cleaner, your best bet is to go ahead and get a good, genuine Electrolux vinyl replacement hose. They aren't cheap but they're well worth the cost. You'll be amazed how much the performance of your vacuum improves with a new hose in place. Decent used ones show up on eBay at affordable prices. Be patient and persistent and you'll find what you need.

Checkrate/Likes I was wondering how to repair a Electrolux hose pipe connector from the 1970s because I cant see how to remove and replace the connector. This is my first time posting here so if I do anything wrong please tell me.

Checkrate/Likes *thanks* Yes I am trying to replace the connector at the end that goes into the vacuum, but the thing is that my grandfathers friend that used to fix old Electrolux, Hover, and Columbus vacuum cleaners gave me a bunch of brand new parts and there was a few of the connectors(brand new) so I thought that I would be able to replace them because my grandfathers friend used to fix them for my grandfather and my dad but he said that he forgot how to replace them. I added A pic that I found online of the hose that almost looks like the one I have. View Full Size

Checkrate/Likes *That looks like�* It was a Canadian model Electrolux. Their hose end connectors were different than the US made ones. I would see what you can get for a vinyl replacement hose at this point, the braided hoses leak and genuine replacements last better than the generics. Contact an Aerus dealer and rhey can tell you if it�s something they can order. You need the model of the machine stamped on the main machine somewhere so they can look if the correct hose is still something that can be ordered. Many are not stocked in stores but can be special ordered. Jon

Checkrate/Likes Vinyl hoses look wretched and throwing out the original hose makes it harder and harder for people to find them anymore. I had to pay $90 to get the original hose for an Electrolux E and even then it was still rotten and had to be repaired. Keep the original hose but coat the insides with FlexSeal. It will be better than a vinyl hose and not look ugly. www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi...
