Antoine, can you show us a pic of how you modified the Type C bag to work in the Renaissance? The Type C bags are easier to buy in bulk, and easier to find HEPA Cloth versions, so this would be helpful to everyone on here who has a Renaissance, Epic 8000 or Guardian.
The previous owner probably put the switch in there to bypass the circuit board inside the canister. A shame he did that :( Best of luck to you with your new business venture. | ||

Modify and folded tristar bag for now in my renaissance vacuum cleaner.
Does the job for now waiting on order of proper bags for it from Amazon. I folded the edge in a somewhat square shape and duct tape to fork a seal and voila . | ||

I passed up one of those at Goodwill a year or so ago. It looked like it had seen gentle use, and they only wanted $10 for it, but I decided it was too far out of my traditional Electrolux ecosystem, too much plastic, and too many circuit boards. Somebody else immediately snatched it up, so I don't feel too bad about it. I sometimes think maybe I should have bought it, especially for that price, but then again, it's just not my type of machine.
People who know about my vacuum obsession sometimes ask me why I don't sell some of them off, and the simple truth is that by the time I've got one put to rights, I've put so much of myself into it, I can't bear to part with it. Ridiculous, I know, but there you have it. Also, I tend to sink too much money into the machines, which I would never be able to get back out of them. | ||

Antoine, if I was in your position, I would scrap trying to repair and resell the vacuum, and just keep it for yourself. Not only are you looking at spending about $200 and up for the board, chances are whoever installed the switch would have messed up and changed ALL the canister's internal wiring harness to do so.
Sorry, I hate to be a Debbie Downer like this, but it's the truth. Hope you have better luck with the next vacuum you find ok. | ||

I would look first at whether the plastic clip on the hose handle needs to be replaced or it's a bad wand connection. Or could be a wire needs to be seated and glued in place properly. All very fixable without necessarily having to spend money on a new hose. Besides, hate to say it, I wouldn't throw a dime into it....if anything, run it into the ground and save the usable parts from it.

Antoine, I noticed in one of your later pics you posted, you have tape on the hose right where it goes into the hose handle. Before you replace it, try taking the hose handle off, take some rubbing alcohol on a cloth, and use it to clean up the brass contact rings on the hose where it makes contact with the contacts inside the hose handle. This may be what's causing your trouble too. On certain brands, like Miele canisters, I have seen this be an issue, and they actually have YouTube tutorials where they show that cleaning up the hose contacts fixes the issue. So there's a very good chance this is a issue your Electrolux is having as well.
