The Classic is very close to the Olympia but doesn’t have the metal accessory wands, instead they are plastic…also instead of the combination rug and floor tool it just has a floor brush tool and the crevice tool is smaller and it does not have the automatic control suction monitoring feature your Olympia has. Now with all 4 items needing replacement, the cord, spring, hose and perhaps the power nozzle tune up…you’ll have to put out a pretty good chunk of money and you may consider gjust replacing with a Lux Classic or Lux legacy.
#HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR ELECTROLUX C104A FULL#
We paid for the “power nozzle tune up” which including a full clean out, lubrication and replacement of the brush and a two year warranty from Aerus….we couldn’t be more impressed. We just recently wanted power nozzle service for the Olympia but they don’t make the parts for that nozzle anymore and the dealer gave us a newer nozzle that was a trade in. If your motor is quiet especially when winding down when shutting off chances are your Olympia will run for many more years to come…the motors are all metal and really last so would be worth the service. He replaced the cord for her and put in a new spring and it works beautifully. My Mom had it done in her golden jubilee when the cord end came off and the cord snapped into the machine and unwound the spring. Or I’m pretty sure you can get the spring from Aerus Electrolux and they may not charge you much to put it all back together and replace the cord. Aerus Electrolux wanted $289 for a new hose for it back in 2009 and we elected to buy a used Electrolux Marquise model with a bad motor for a bargain off eBay and put the motor from the Renaissance in that machine and it is still running beautifully today.įor the cord winder spring…it can be rewound carefully…I’ve made the same mistake. My friend had one and had EXACTLY the same issue you have.
#HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR ELECTROLUX C104A HOW TO#
Oh and I love that you still have the Olympia owners manual…I just discovered my Mom has hers a few days ago too! They are worth a fortune on eBay! It helps tell you how to properly set the automatic control feature…something people often have no clue how to set properly!įor the Renaissance unfortunately that machine was problematic with the electronics in the hose handle which talk to a circuit board in the machine. We have on ours and are still completely satisfied. While the hose is pricey…considering the vac was $500 back in 1982…and is regarded as the very best Electrolux ever made…it’s worth it to take care of it. It will be flexible vinyl now and lasts far longer than the older braided type that ended up with suction leaks like your original. A new hose from Aerus Electrolux is about $125 but worth it.
The non genuine ones will be less durable especially the handle. To tell genuine from non genuine…look closely at the handle…if it has the round dial on it for the suction adjustment, that’s genuine…if it has a power nozzle switch on it or a slide for the suction control that’s NOT genuine. You can look on eBay for a used genuine hose, just make sure you get the correct one with the two prongs on the machine end. However, to preserve the integrity of these vacuums I would prefer to have OEM parts if possible.įor the Olympia hose…(we have the same model)….you can go to an Aerus dealer and get a new genuine hose it will work perfectly. I would not be averse to buying after market parts if you can recommend a reliable source. I am reaching out to this community because the replacement parts that I see on places like e-bay look very cheap and not of the same quality standard as the Electrolux originals. Mine is in bad shape where it plugs into the canister and has both a vacuum leak as well as an intermittent in the power cable embedded within it. If necessary, I would purchase a full cord rewinder assembly if the individual parts are not available.įor the Renaissance I need a new hose assembly. Unfortunately, when I was disassembling and cleaning mine, I accidently let the constant force spring slip off the assembly and now it is a twisted mess. Mine has a cut in the jacket right where it attaches to the cord reel. I would prefer the later model if possible. I believe Electrolux made an improved version that does a better job of maintaining suction. Mine is the original braided hose and it is kinked and leaking badly. However, I am looking for some replacement parts for both of these units: I am not a collector just a satisfied Electrolux user whose vacuums are used on a regular basis to keep my house clean.
