Mend Electrolux EPIC 6000 SR Vacuum Suction

Electrolux vacuum EPIC 6000 series SR starts and stops?

This is an electrolux cannister model EPIC series 6000 SR. After replacing a full bag of dust with a new Electrolux bag, my vacuum refused to restart and stay on. The motor runs fine without the hose attached, but winds off quickly when suction or resistance is applied to the orifice. Even my hand can stop the suction and turn off the unit. I already cleaned the additional filter, and reamed out the hose for obstructions to no avail. I believe the "sensor" that winds down operation when the bag gets full is somehow faulty. Is there an adjustment?

My Epic 6000 SR was doing the same thing. Turned out to be a bad hose. The wires running through the hose were shorting out. New hoses cost around $100 but you can find them online around $60. Hope this helps.
