this feature works just like a brush indicator light on a Kirby. The dirt that passes through the system physically "strikes" the sensor.
On the older Windunnels, the sensor should be right before the bag, but it's been years since I've serviced one of those. This small sensor is easily coated in gunk so you're right, it can only be so accurate. Even if the sensors aren't coated in crud, Iv'e never believed they were accurate in gauging fine dirt pickup. Perhaps larger debris can be measured by this system more easily. |
