I kid you not! And yes, I had previously opened it up, as the on/off switch needed to be replaced. But all wires were intact, and the unit worked fine. My mistake was that I wasn't careful enough in securing the two parts of the canister when assembling it again. This unit belongs to my daughter-in-law and son, and I was doing this for them. So it was when one of them was using it, and went to lift it, that it literally fell open, yanking the connections apart. so they handed it back to me to try and fix it. Not remembering the layout of the wiring, it isn't as easy as you may assume, as it is not just an ordinary split phase motor where you can connect the hot and the neutral to it and away you go, via a switch, and maybe a protection of some sort. This machine also has a bag indicator, power on indicator, a protection light of some sort, as well as a switch that opens whenever the filter door is opened. There is a rotory selector for suction, and the switch mechanism is dual with a slide interlock, operated by suction, or lack of. The motor, of course, has an armature with brushes, and there are three terminals at the motor, not two, as for your usual motor connections. I took it to a Vacuum cleaner repair shop, and they looked at it and said they thought it should work the way I had it connected, but one wire was too short, So I went home and did what he said, but when I very carefully plugged it in, it shorted out. So now I'm back to square one!
No, I did not carelessly take it apart. I am a tradesman myself, an electrician actually, but don't profess to know everything, especially about vacuum cleaners! So give me a break! So if you are a pro, maybe you can figure this one out! This is why I would like very much to get my hands on a schematic, or just a plain good line diagram. Thanks

speaking as a "handy guy" this is not rocket science -the wiring will be all in series (one thing after another like a daisy chain) - mains cord coming in - then a control switch for on/off then to the motor very probably by way of an overheat cut-out device strapped to or very close to the motor - then the neutral return from the motor all the way back to the cord and the plug.

Will the neutral return go by way of the on/off switch - very probably - yes if it has four terminals and no if its only got two.

Is there a convenience outlet for external equipment ? If there is then it would be wise to wire that in too.

I'm sure that m&m could have answered this but you know what Rap Artists can be like some days.

Good luck...
