Why does the bag light and plug light stay on

The bag full light on the Electrolux Epic 6500 SR stays on because the vacuum's airflow sensor is detecting even a slight blockage as a full bag. When the hose is attached or when the suction port is partially blocked, the vacuum senses reduced airflow and incorrectly triggers the bag full indicator. This issue is likely due to a malfunctioning airflow sensor rather than an actual full bag or obstruction.

The red light may stay on after changing the dirt bag in an Electrolux Epic 6500 SR if the new bag is clogged with fine dirt, which can block the pores of the bag and reduce airflow. Even if the bag does not appear full, it may still need to be replaced to restore cleaning efficiency.

To fix the cord rewinder on an Electrolux Epic 6500 SR:
1. Purchase a replacement cord winder assembly compatible with the Electrolux Epic 6500 SR (not compatible with models 8000, 9000, and Guardian). 2. Disassemble the vacuum housing carefully. Pay attention to how the top lead comes off so it can be reassembled correctly. 3. Install the new cord winder unit, ensuring the cord hole slot is aligned and held in place when the top is reattached. 4. Reassemble the vacuum housing, making sure all plastic tabs, especially near the hose end, snap into place. 5. Pull the cord to the desired length (not past the yellow band), plug it in, and check that the control light turns on. 6. To retract the cord, give it a light tug and guide it back slowly to prevent it from whipping into the unit. Hold the plug during retraction.

The Electrolux Epic 6500 SR vacuum may not stay running after changing the dirt bag because the vacuum automatically shuts off when the bag change indicator lights up. This function is controlled by the vacuum and is regulated by the control dial setting. Additionally, if the filter bag is not properly installed or if a non-Electrolux filter bag is used, it may cause dirt leakage, affecting the vacuum’s operation. Ensuring the correct installation of an Electrolux filter bag should resolve the issue.

I recently replaced the foot operated power switch on my epic 6000sr. Now the main vacuum works but the PN runs as soon as I plug it in. The only way to stop it is to unplug it or use the switch on the Power nozzle.
