Hi all,

New to the forums, thanks for having me 

I have a dc75 which the brushbar has decided to stop spinning. I have tried the head from my DC40 and that didn't work on it either so guess there is some other fault.

Is this common and has anyone experienced this and could point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance

On mine it goes tight if you route the wiring anticlockwise. Try checking the wiring route. If is not that maybe just extend the wiring?

I purchased a used Sebo x7 and from all the reading it appeared that the X7 handle goes flat to the floor like my old X4.  The handle on this X7 does NOT go flat to the floor, it stops midway.  And yet on this forum, the question was asked if the X7 handle could be MADE to stop midway like an X4.  The answer was no.  The info appears to be conflicting.  I've searched many places to discover if the X7 handle can be made to go flat but has of yet found no certain answer. Would appreciate any response.

Hi all

My first post on the forum and hoping someone can give me their thoughts.

I have a 13 year old Sebo X1.1. Throughout those 13 years it has been flawless, however, just recently, I've noticed it has not been as effective on our carpets. It's as if it is riding just slightly too high and isn't grooming the carpets correctly. For info, we have the same carpet throughout the house which is only 18months old and it has a fair depth of pile.

At first I thought the brushroll was just worn, however after fitting a brand new, genuine one today (the 'blue bristles' type) it appears to have made no difference.

I've had the machine apart and checked the following:

• Suction - as good as its always been and still works fine with the extension hose and turbo brush tool on the stairs.
• Blockages - none. Completely clear right down to the brushroll.
• Height adjust servo - appears to be working. When the cleaner is in its upright 'parked' position, it rises to its maximum height, and on our hardwood floor, it drops right down as expected. On the carpet, it does adjust itself, but, as I say, it feels like it's not lowering enough.
• Belts - these look to be in good condition and are not slipping.
• Motor - still loads of life left in the brushes and the commutator relatively clean.
• PCB - no obvious damage i.e. no 'black marks' to infer that a resistor has burnt out etc.
• Filters - replaced only a few bagfulls ago.

I was wondering if the issue could be the Belt Sensor Unit (Type 4 in my machine)?

Has anyone else ever had this issue and managed to resolve?

I did see an older forum post on here where the the person 'tricked' their Sebo X4 into the correct height, and then pulled the connector for the servo off the PCB so that it disabled the auto height adjust. I did actually test this earlier today too, and while that does 'work', I would prefer the machine operated as it's meant to.

Then a new pre motor filter



And a new bag



Fancy!



Bag full piston goes back together



Then lay the hose outlet cover down and place the inlet housing over the top, and screw it down. Check the bag cover slides across nicely



Pop the lid on



Slam it down and pop the tools in



Hose can go together
