Thread: Rainbow Vacuum cleaner repair

Update on the Rainbow repair.
I found 4 additional screws under the two clear plastic side panels with the golden paper inserts. After figuring out how to pry these two plastic inserts off, there were 2 screws under each one. Took those out and the plastic shell came off the unit exposing the motor and all the extras. Cleaned the dust and foreign matter out of the motor housing and other places, blew the dust off the shop vac type paper filter protecting the motor and generally cleaned everything in sight. Oh yeah, repaired the electrical cord. There is an electrical fitting with 4 wires running into it that fits in a socket that had become loose. In addition, I found a safety switches to keep the motor from running when the water bowl is off. Rainbow works fine.

Ok, sounds good, I don't know much about vacuum cleaners or I could have assisted you.
