Electrolux model 2100 shuts off with slightest suction blockage
My Electrolux 2100 canister shuts off and the full bag light goes on when just the hose is connected to it. It will run with nothing connected to the canister, but put your hand over just a little portion of the inlet, or connect the hose to it, and it shuts down. Could this be a bad full bag switch/valve?

This is exactly the symptom you would expect from a defective bag control valve. The actual control valve sits under the dial on top of the vac and often cracks internally. It can be replaced in about 15 minutes by a good tech with genuine parts from AERUS Elctrolux dealer or repair center.
You can open the vac front to rear like a **** shell by sliding the bumpers out the front with the bag door open, however you must be careful not to disturb the wiring harness and to mark wiring locations. The body must be carefully realigned for closure. If it is not perfect you will not be able to slide the bumpers back in.
