I have an Electrolux Super J (1976) Model with a code-plate of K83876T on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteRecently it has a burnt smell when operating. I wanted to open it to check if something is blocking the air-flow path or the motor is burning out.
Could you tell me the steps to open the canister??? It is not obvious as all the screws are hidden. I've watched a few U-Tube videos showing sliding the side name-strip off to open the shell but those strips ran end-to-end. My unit has side-strips that come to 3/4" of each end, so you cannot open the bag-door and slid the strip out.
Thanks in advance......Doug
I don't have any experience with that model, and it doesn't look like there's a service/disassembly manual available online, but I'll keep my eyes open and see if I find anything that will help.
ReplyDeleteI have the same question and machine as Doug, If anyone finds an answer I would appreciate the answer also
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you might possibly be able to get a copy of the service manual here, but I'm not sure:

The site doesn't specify if it's a service manual or owner's manual, but the file size is 113.87 MB, which seems extremely large for an owner's manual. Not sure how reputable the website is, but it may be something to contact them about if you're interested.
