My electrolux O3 carpet power head keeps shorting

If your unit is like ours, there is a electrical short in the wand to Hose connection.. dont use it.. ours unit shorted out and sparks were everywhere.. burned thru the wand to the inside of it and the outside. Good thing my lovely wife wasn't touching that part. electrocution risk was Extreme. PESTER ELECTROLUX, they drag their heels when it comes to admitting and making it right.
