Yanked the cord out of the vacuum (by 2 users)

posted by 1housewife on Feb 28, 2008

i pulled too hard on the cord and instead of retracting into the vacuum it came out, the ends are clean, and it looks like there is a lid that could possibly be the way into the compartment to reconnect the cord but how to open it?...or do i have to unscrew the vacuum? looks like it should be easy, any advice would be great, only technical diagrams i can find are patents in german

thank you

I have the exact same problem, and the situation is not resolved by the first answer. Actually, the "cord comes out clean" means that

1. The snap-on wire connectors (here female) separated and need to be re-connected.
2. When the back comes off (there are three allen-type screws) where the plug re-connects is not obvious.

I guess I may have to dig deeper!

Wasn't able to find any diagrams either, but there should be some screws to take out, and the top and bottom should separate. Don't let the cord reel spring unwind if it hasn't already done so. If it hasn't, one half of the reel should come aprt so you can re-attach the cord. then put the reel back together and let it wind the cord on the reel. If the spring is unwound and/or the reel wasn't made to come apart, then you will have to replace the cord reel asm.
