Your valve (the dial on top) likely has broken plastic inside. You can either replace the valve or disconnect the tube, connecting it to the switch. If it were me, I would just replace the valve. But either way you’ll have a functioning vacuum again.
I’m not sure why those valves break so much.. maybe people jerk the knob too hard on the top? I currently have about 15 plastic bodied canisters in my collection.. and I’ve sold quite a few on eBay over the years and I’ve seen this issue with the valves in a couple of them. |
