If you vacuum wont turn on it is most likely the cord winder. This is a pretty big repair, you wouldn't want to attempt it yourself. Most shops should be able to repair the cord winder for about $50-75. If you need a new cord winder expect to pay about $150.

I have a Eureka Boss Power Plus and the beater bar is rolling, the belt is turning, but after vacuuming up around the litter box (not a lot of litter), when I turn the vacuum off, the litter, or even household dirt, falls out. When I hold the vacuum back to turn it off so that it doesn't fall on the floor, it's sitting in the cubby where the wheels are. The bag is empty, the hose is not plugged, the hose is securely fitted on both ends of the unit. This vacuum was purchased in July and is being used in a very small apartment, so it's not old or overused. What do I check next? Could this be a faulty machine?

I have an S548 Aluminum canister vac that's about 6 years old. Tonight while I was vacuuming, the LED on top of the powerhead that is normally green turned red and the brush stopped spinning.
I took the brush cover off the bottom, took off the top cover, took off the inner cover. The wiring and connections all seemed to be intact. I took the back cover off the neck of the powerhead (where it connects to the wand) and the two yellow wires in there looked good too.
I suspect the powerhead may need a new motor. Can someone let me know what the red light might mean.
Thank you in advance.
