Questions and answers
The vacuum will not turn on. Cannot turn circular dial to normal; it's stuck.
The Electrolux vacuum model 2100 may not turn on if the power cord is not properly plugged in, the toe switch is not pressed correctly, or if the vacuum motor has shut off due to overheating or an obstruction. The circular dial may be stuck due to debris, incorrect use, or internal damage. Make sure the unit is off, check for obstructions, and inspect the dial for any physical blockage or misalignment.

The control dial is stuck. Cannot move it to normal. Vacuum won't start. The power symbol doesn't illuminate.
To fix a stuck control dial on an Electrolux 2100 vacuum that won’t start and has a non-illuminating power symbol, follow these steps:
1. Check Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and fed slowly into the unit. Do not let it whip into the cord winder.
2. Toe Switch: Press the toe switch gently on top of the unit to start the vacuum. If it doesn’t start, press it again to ensure it's not stuck.
3. Control Dial: Adjust the control dial to a known working setting like “NORMAL.” If the dial is stuck, try gently turning it back and forth to free it. Avoid using force.
4. Suction Control: Open the suction control to prevent excess resistance that may affect startup.
5. Check Full Bag Indicator: Make sure the vacuum bag is not full and is installed correctly. A full or misaligned bag can prevent the vacuum from starting.
6. Filter Lock: Ensure the filter is locked in place, as an unlocked filter may stop the vacuum from operating.
If the vacuum still won't start and the power symbol does not light up, the issue may involve internal wiring, a faulty switch, or a failed motor, which may require professional repair.
