Question About Eureka Vacuum Cleaner 4870 Series
No Power...

My wife was vacuuming with our Eureka 4870 when it suddenly cut off and she smelled a plastic-like burning odor. I took apart the vacuum and couldn't see anything obvious. I read on-line the problem could be caused by the switch so I replaced that to no avail. In another on-line solution, I read a similar issue was caused by the cord connection to the motor. I checked the connections and they're good. Do you have any suggestions short of buying a new vacuum? Thanks.

1 This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the rocker switch to off (O) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full bag, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch.
