Vacuum was working fine and it just stopped. we checked bag and hoses no blockage and not filled. not even sure where the reset button is so that was not a possibilty
This may be a bit late, but if you're using an afterfilter on your vacuum, check it. These should be changed every sixth bag or so. If not, it will get extremely dirty and block the airflow, causing the motor to overheat and shut off.
There could be other problems, but this is the easiest thing to check, and the quickest fix. You don't really need the afterfilter to continue using the vacuum. It's there to prevent fine dust particles that have gotten through the bag from returning to the home. With the new bags out now, it's kind of obsolete, but HEPA afterfilters are made for newer Aerus Electrolux vacuums for folks concerned with fine pollens and dust, and those with allergies.
If you've ever had a bag break, then dirt has also gotten into the motor. This will cause problems, and the motor should be cleaned as soon as possible. The wiring can be checked while this is done, as a loose wire can also cause this problem.

Generic problem for all Vacuums
Hi, I have an Electrolux Ambassador
Posted by greenforest on Jun 17, 2008
Hi, I have an Electrolux Ambassador and the other day I was vacuuming a fringe carpet and the fringe made the Electrolux stop (has happened before) and when I pressed the reset button, the motor is on but the wheel does not spin. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. There are 2 possibilities that could be happening. Either the belt is broken of which you can replace the belt @ least one a year for proper maintenance or there may be a reset for the vacuum in case you get something caught in the brushroll section of the vacuum. Check both of those items and it should work unless you have a motor burn out – if you did there would be a burning smell. Feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area.
So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

SOURCE: Electrolux Epic 6500SR Full Bag sensor working, Does not Reset properly
The problem was a sticking switch that was not being reset. The vacuum on/off switch mechanism is comprised of two switches. One is the main switch that turns the vacuum on and off. The second is a shut off switch that gets tripped when the full bag sensor is engaged. This second switch is supposed to get reset when you push the on/off switch on the outside of the machine. The full bag shutoff switch was stiff and it, therefore, was taking a couple of presses of the on/off switch to move the shutoff switch back into the running position.
go to the main unit,you have a blockage where the suction originates.can you disconnect the main suction line to the unit?do that and turn it on.if you have suction then then the main suction tube is blocked.a towel or rag of some sort got sucted in and got caught before it made it to the dirt tank please leave feedback

There is a thermal reset button on your vaccum. It is on the rear of the unit, just below the attachments and next to the sticker with the serial numer etc on it. The vacuum is designed to turn itself of if too much heat gets built up to prevent it from "burning up."
