Sebo Power Head ET-1 abruptly stopped working while vacuuming. Tried the on switch on the head and nothing happens, though the vacuum continues to operate. The lights on the power head are unlit.

I had a problem with my K1 Komfort model which sounds similar to this. I initially thought the cord was too short but the machine wouldn't give out anymore and retracting was difficult. A Sebo engineer/helpline told me to pull roughly on the cord, of which I did and was rewarded with 2 metres more than what I thought I didnt have! So, perhaps if your machine isn't retracting properly, give the cord a rough pull with gloves on, or a strong grip - the cables on the K series are notorious for stopping up. Afterwards wipe the entire cord down with furniture polish; it will retract much more quickly.

Take the hose off and see if the light is still on or is it off. If it is off, then there is a clog in the hose. While the hose is off, drop something thru it and see if it comes out the other end. Press the retaining clip and the hose will disconnect. Separate the power head from the handle unit to make sure there is no clog by the brush roll. If it is still on then probably the computer controller, part # 5740ER has a problem. It is located in the power head.

The full bag light comes on when it is getting full or a blockage in the hose or the dirt inlet by the brush roll. Other then that, there is a circuit board called the computer controller, part #5740ER and is giving you a false reading and causing a shut down.

SOURCE: replace power cable on Sebo X4 vacuum claenaer

From memory the plastic part slides up a little, enough for you to access the wiring. I'll try and have look at work tomorrow.

Warning though! you need to do this work with the handle laying flat, the screw hole upwards - it may be already too late as there is a nut that slides away and can be tricky to get back

How do I check the belt on my Sebo power head C3.1?

Question moved from Car and Trucks.

Turn it over and undo the screws in the power head and remove the base plate.

Manual and a good schematic diagram

DC25s are not Hoovers, they are Dysons. And they are terrible vacuum cleaners. We see more DC25s for repair than all the other Dysons. Toss it and buy a Miele or Sebo.

Burning smell and noise from vacuum

The roller head may be turning, but something could be rubbing and causing the belt to slip slightly. I'd remove the belt and beater bar and look for foreign material that is stuck

Why won't my Sebo Felix premium brush head won't turn? Vacuum works otherwise, but the power head won't work.

Take it to your dealer. Sebo has a 7 year warranty, your dealer can repair it.

Hi. I have a Sebo X1 about 12 years old. Last time I used it there was an unpleasant smell in the room but didn't seem to be coming from the Sebo. However I am now trying to use it and it doesn't work. The...

The unpleasant smell could have been the lifetime belt finally giving up. Also happened on our 13 year SEBO X1 Automatic due to my error of vacuuming up a rug with long loose strands! If you are good with a screwdriver, you can replace the drive belt easily enough - go onto You Tube - there is an excellent UK video showing how to replace the drive belt on the SEBO. There are two belts, but you will know which one has to be replaced if you remove the screws on the underside of the main floor head. Before you do anything, kneel on the floor beside the SEBO and press the main release button on the bottom of the front bin area just above the floor head. It may need brute force but when pressed, put on knee on the floor head gently and pull the bin upwards to release from the body of the SEBO. This unlocks the main floor head from the bin, making it easier to look at the floor head. See video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOPphVcZHYA

Head assembly not working

MOST ROLLER HEADS HAVE AN ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVING THE ROLLER WITH A BELT AND GETS ITS' POWER FROM A CABLE ALONGSIDE THE WANDS FROM THE HEAD. I SUGGEST A VISIT TO THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE TO DOWNLOAD AN OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH WILL PROVIDE ACCURATE INFO SINCE I DO NOT KNOW THE ACTUAL MAKE AND MODEL OF YOUR MACHINE

My sebo x5 power head goes up and down without stopping

Hi There,
Sounds like you have a faulty control board in that one. You need to contact a sebo service centre unless you are comfortable repairing this sort of thing. If you need sebo parts in Australia check out VacuumSpot.com.au

Faithful Sebo X1 upright, about 12 years old, stopped working today. I replaced old with new dust bag, checked all dust paths were clear, checked main brush was clear/clean, and drive spindle rotated OK...

At 12 years, this vacuum has had a good long life. I suspect the motor is shot, but it could be due to faulty wiring and connections. A bad switch, break in the power cord, and worn brushes in the motor are other causes.
I recommend taking it to a shop for diagnosis and repair. You may be better off buying a new vacuum if the cost of repair and parts seems excessive.
