Thank you, Jon! I love my Electrolux and intend to keep it going as long as possible. I don't want to bypass the circuit breaker, so I'll try to locate a spring that might be stuck. Thank you again for your helpful suggestions! |

I’ve never opened one of these up before. You might be able to buy a replacement one on ebay. And sometimes site like evacuums.com may have generic reset switches. I’m betting something may have broke. In the switch. Jon |

Access to a parts machine would be a big help. you can also try contacting a guy named Don for electrolux parts at 877-816-6861. Don't bother with Aerus Electrolux branches . they are not interested in perpetuating the old machines |

If you wanted to replace the breaker with a new one, the circuit breakers used on the square beater bar Kenmore powerheads from the 80s and 90s used a modern version of that circuit breaker, made by the same company, just in plastic. Go to a vac shop and ask them to sell you a used one from a junk powerhead....they are a dime a dozen. The part should also be able to be ordered new since a modern version of that Kenmore powerhead is still being produced.
