Possible Cause
1a. Disposable filter bag or debris bucket are completely full.
1b. Obstruction in the hose. A blockage in the hose can be determined by inserting the
hose into any wall inlet and, while power unit is running, check each additional inlet for
normal suction by holding the palm of your hand over the open inlet. If normal suction
is felt at all other inlets, insert the hose into a second inlet. If the blockage still exists it
is located in the hose. However, if the blockage does not occur when the hose is
changed, the blockage is probably located in the tubing system leading to the original inlet.
1c. Obstruction in the tubing system inside the walls.
1d. Wall inlet cover not properly sealed.
1e. Exhaust tubing or vent clogged.
2a. Defective inlet. Check other wall inlets.
2b. Thermoprotector has been activated OR there is a tripped circuit breaker on the unit.
2c. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker on house electrical panel.
2d. Defective hose.
2e. NOTE: This would apply only to the VX550 & VX1000: microprocessor lockup.
2f. Low line voltage.
2g. Bag full sensing has been activated.
3a. An electrical short has occurred somewhere in the system.
4a. Debris bucket and/or direct door not fully closed or attached.
