The 4 main problems we see is #1 The Plug needs replaced due to lack of continuity and #2, the 2 pole 2 throw on off switch has failed on the 120 V motor side of the switch.
One side of the switch is for the main motor and the other is for the power to the power head socket on the vacuum it self.
The 3rd is the motor brushes are seized due to a dirty motor or 4, the motor's armature is blown
Check the continuity of the 120 V cord first, then proceed onward.
I hope this helped!

SOURCE: remove suction motor on rainbow vacuum
Take off the water tank, remove the screw, should be four, that will separate the 2 pieces, remove the rubber seal, remove the screws, 8 If I remember, disconnect the wires to the motor, it should pull out. Replace motor, hook up the wires, screw it back together, glue the water seal back on.
SOURCE: can not get the housing off
Remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the canister, and also carefully remove the water basin gasket. You will reattach the gasket with rubber contact cement when you're finished with your repair/cleaning.
SOURCE: how do you wire in new switch on rainbow vacuum
Hello. I am sorry but, if you don't already have the knowledge to do this, I would strongly reccomend you do not attempt it. Rainbows have a large wiring harness. Here's the main reason: Rainbow vacuums are designed to work with a water filter. If you wire the vacuum wrong, or, if one of the connections come loose, it could mean a possible injury to yourself or damage to the unit, which I know you paid good money for. This repair should only be handled by a qualified vacuum service tech. Thank you.
