Could be a bad capacitor or something on the circuit board. It's at the age now of electronics failure. If that resistor failed it would cut the circuit and the vacuum thinks there is a motor problem.
Would need to go over the circuit board with a multimeter and check for bad diodes and figure out which one is the one that controls the temperature alarm. |

It sounds more like someone has wired it wrong. If you take a look at the diagram here either the wires on bulb C have been reversed (either at the bulb or on the motor housing) or the center (common) wire between the bulbs has been disconnected entirely.

From what I understand and have heard, we got the Electrolux 2100 in Ontario as early as October, 1984. Have seen a couple contracts so far for sales dated to 1984 for 2100's sold at branch offices. Could be that Western Canada got them later for some reason. The E2000 was most definitely gone here in Ontario by then.

Kirbylux - Ontario often got stuff the rest of the country didnt even see. As the factory was in Toronto / Mississauga branches were often used to test out the market. For example, in the west we only got the Grand Marquis and the Model 90 while Ontario also had an early version of the Diplomat (which we didnt see for another year). Also Ontario got the US Ultralux and Ultralux Classic which we never saw at all out west.
