Changing the Brush Assembly on an Electrolux Epic 6500 Vacuum Cleaner

the dial sets the type of dirt you are vacuuming.Fine dust allow bag to fill before shutting down.The best is to turn it to the middle,this should allow bag to fill properly before shutting down...Chris

You need to have the vacuum cleaned out. If you are good with tools, just remove the motor and fans assembly, take the fans off and wash them. Brush ALL dirt out of the housing and reassemble. Your Electrolux dealer can do this but it isn't cheap. I used to be the service manager for my area. Since it isn't under warranty, you can have ANY reliable vacuum cleaner shop give a good cleanout. NEVER put anything into the cleaner to make it smell good. Electrolux cleaners get their power by having a straight through suction. The air goes through the motor. Adding smelly things can crystallize onto the motor and burn it out.

"U" (upright) style bags, available at any Aerus Electrolux store, or from their consultants. These are the genuine bags made only by Home Solutions. Generic bags WILL decrease the lifespan of the motor.

Actually the top comes off from the bottom base. Remove the underside screws, flip the machine over and gently remove the gray cover from the motor and brush assembly. Once inside, remove two more screws holding down the brush cover which is also part of the tunnel. It will reveal the brush, belt, and much dirt so be prepared.

I have listed a link to the manual for your model and a link to the replacement belt you need. Hope it helps!

Those would be Style C vacuum bags.

Clicking "Epic6500.pdf" will pop up a registration shortly,
but the manual appears directly after that.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Your problem may be solved as simply as pushing the small red reset button exposed on top of the power head when you tilt the arm back. Very simple. Hope this helps.

Are you using the proper bag? There's a kill/reset switch that needs to be pushed down by the rim of the bag before the unit will run.
