If it were my machine, I would test the motor and the motor wiring to make sure all the wires are secure, there aren’t any broken wires, they are hooked up correctly, and that the motor tests for continuity. | ||

Check the brushes 
Occasionally I’ve had guardians come in with worn down motor brushes which were the culprit of the motor not running. Another thing that happens is if your bag light is coming on then the machine won’t run. The bag full sensor has a tendency to go bad and the majority of Aerus or Electrolux machines I have in have this issue. I believe the sensor/part needed to fix this is no longer available so what I do just to help the customer get their machine back and have it work is a I “neuter” the machine. Basically what I do is open it up and the clear tubes inside are to the sensor. I cut the tubes and plug them so there will be no air leaks and that fixes the issue because the sensor is now bypassed. This does mean the bag full light will no longer operate but it was the culprit of the machine not running at all so it’s better to have a bag full sensor that is deactivated than one that works so well it thinks the bag is full all of the time.

Greg, yes the motor that was used in the Renaissance will fit your machine IF you have the motor housing from a Guardian C134. That specific model, before the C154 Lux9000 came out and the VM3 motor was introduced used the Electro Motor double stage motor.
What I would do is buy a Guardian C134 listing on Ebay for the canister only and strip it for parts, since you would need to buy a motor housing, and you can always keep the cord reel and circuit boards for spare parts. Beware though, if you do buy a new motor, use ONLY the Electro Motor 6500-293. DO NOT USE THE 6500-298! That motor is sold on Centralvacuummotor.com as their 6500-242UP upgrade motor that pulls 117" waterlift. However, that motor pulls too much power for the circuit boards to handle and will blow them! I speak from firsthand experience. Also, make sure you buy ONLY a Guardian....they not only changed the motor housing, they also made slight changes to the body when the Guardian was introduced in 1999, so the Renaissance and Epic8000 motor housing will not work to fit a double stage motor in a Guardian.

Wands You can send me an email letting me know how much you want for the wands. I have a Lux Legacy and the two wands are a bit short for me and I have some big rooms in my house and having an additional wand to add to the two would likely help make vacuuming with this model a bit faster. Jon | ||
