Hi Nick:
If by 'side panels' you mean the ones reading Electrolux, that's very easy. First open the bag chamber using the lever on the front cover then depending on the configuration with Companion, or Cary-on tool holder, and cord winder in place, remove both. There is the back end which holds the exhaust filter, this needs to be removed by turning the thumbscrew then pull the cover off. There you'll see a screw, one for each panel, remove the screw and the panel will slip off. It fits into a groove on the bag chamber on the other side. This screw may be hidden with the rubber gasket on the back end but easy to find. To remove the top assembly with the carrying handle, pop open the cover that holds the cord. Depress the button on the side and the top will open exposing the plug. Unplug the cord. There are two screws on the top panel with the vinyl handle, this is where you'll find the electrical data on the machine. Remove both screws, one is visible the other is under the handle. Lift the assembly off. This will expose the switch mechanism, do not monkey with this or you'll mess up the automatic shut-off. Been there, done that, leave it alone. If the dent is inside the bag chamber you're out of luck as the bag chamber is complicated to remove. To replace the nameplates fit the tab on one end into the groove of the front cover and replace the screw. Good luck in removing the dent. Alex Taber. By the way, Caligula is the cat in my avatar. |
