| 626574 | 2008-01-02 00:08:00 | If it's in the hose, try reversing the hose, then turn the sucker on and hold the nozzle end in the machine while shaking the hose and swearing. If it's in the head itself, try pushing a garden hose or similar toward the head from the beetle end. Swearing is traditional in this procedure too. Trouble may ensue if the hose is squirting at any stage. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 626577 | 2008-01-02 01:07:00 | Poke your garden hose into the cleaner hose (not the vacuum cleaner end) and while pushing, wriggle the vacuum hose around until the garden hose comes out of the vacuum hose. Happy wriggling New Year! | BobM (1138) | ||

| 626579 | 2008-01-02 01:22:00 | I had an old electrolux for years and years. Excellent. Then I had to get a new one, I hated everything I saw or they had to have bags or worse those expensive filters. Finally got a Dyson off Trademe which takes neither and sucks enormously. :thumbs: Got stuff stuck once in the electrolux, the directions given above are the best methods..... |

| 626580 | 2008-01-02 01:48:00 | Any new head that fits may be the best solution. Those Kambrook turbo heads are not a great asset to the average home. A cheap dual purpose head will allow you to throw the turbo head and the blockage at the next missionary that calls, and it is a fairly safe bet it will work better than the Kambrook one ever did(n't). | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 626581 | 2008-01-02 01:56:00 | If its anything like our Kambrook cleaner ( cheaper version), the head does come apart- where the Plastic Head slides into the Metal piece, just below the Bend / swivel bit ( gawd what a mouthful) there are two little slots with clips inside, you can carefully push them in with a flat screwdriver and the head section then pops out with a bit of a pull. Then grabbing something like a knitting needle, flexible, but still stiff enough, wriggle / hook out the obstruction, or pliers if you have any. Done this a few times when the plastic clips you get from the supermarket to put around the plastic bags get sucked up and stuck. |
