Hello, rk
I
was trying to help you out here. Maybe this will help some? I was going
back to some customers that asked questions in the recent past and even
farther back. It appeared that no one answered some of them, So, I
thought I would take some of my own personal time to see
if I can help. Even though this a Informational site may not have your
exact model or brand, But this site will help you a lot. Here is the
site link about everything you want to know about vacuum cleaners and
possibly yours, from repair to trouble shooting it.

Please
if this helped you at all, if you can find the time and in your heart
to rate my help and some kind words written would be appreciated for my
free help, I would appreciate it. Like I said I
just tried to help, If anything this is good information for future
problems. If you felt that my free help was a waist of time for you, I'm
sorry.I do not get paid to help people on the site, I do it cause I like to help.
Here
is also my direct link to my own pages of other areas of my expertise
for other problems you might have in Automotive, Appliance, and
Electronics. Drop In anytime for my help.
Thanks, Mike
