Looks like the spring has gone in my G5 handle pivot, is this repairable or do I need to get the complete pivot assembly and replace it? thanks | ||

Thanks for reply, I have managed to get an assembly for £7 on ebay. | ||

 If you are using the newer HEPA bags in your G series, those hold more debris and they can pack a lot of dirt in them before the suction fades off (takes awhile with a vacuum like a Kirby). Using my Sentrias I noticed the handles get pretty heavy after vacuuming for weeks and weeks as the bag maxes-out. I don't seem to hit that amount that fast in my older G series with a paper bag, I think because paper doesn't pack the dirt so densely. If you want the spring tighter, I believe you can notch out a link and re-shape a new end. | ||
