Electrolux Epic 6500 Control Valve

Wasn't an easy repair, but wasn't impossible and didn't take me too long to change it myself. It fit right in where the old original part came out in less than 20 minutes and the vacuum works properly again and I saved on not having to pay the Electrolux repair shop thief the $225 labor he wanted to rip me for! No more constantly shutting itself off! Just make sure you don't pinch the clear plastic tubings while reassembling your unit between the bag box and the canister top. A bit pricey for just a small piece of plastic that isn't even necessary and can easily be bypassed, if need be. Was priced lower here than 12 other sites I bothered looking at and since I've made a purchases from here many times for many appliance parts it was a no brainer ordering here! Always fast shipping from these guys! Quality is usually very good on parts from here and quick shipping. My parts arrived in only 2 days and were packed well! Awesome! Thanks!

My 6500SR kept telling me the bag was full. Took the bag out and it had hardly anything in it. Put the bag back in and the vacuum cleaner would work for a while and then the same thing. Found out here that it was either the filter on the exhaust or this valve. Changing the filter did not solve the issue but this valve did. The video was very helpful but it is harder than the service technician makes it look. I also purchased a new electrical cord rewind assembly and a new motor. I was going to purchase a new Miele but after refurbishing my 6500SR, I saved a lot of money keeping a good vacuum cleaner going.

Replacement took about 20 minutes and my problem was solved (full bag alert and shut-off with brand new bag.) Old vacuum works like new again.

Fast shipping... Worked great.

fit well just make sure all tubing is in place otherwise unit will be hard to close
