JAG was right about the piston being broken. That was the problem with mine. However, you'll find a small pinhole on the back panel inside the bag compartment. If you remove the bag and seal that little hole, it will fix your problem with showing a full bag. However, it will also not alert you when the bag is really full. If you still want directions on opening the canister, email me at stegenkj@hotmail.com.

I think you have no choice but to go to a service center. However, I am curious to get instructions how you opened the canister. I can't Borehole@comcast.net

I just tore my dad's electrolux epic 6500 sr apart for exactly the same reason. Directly under the control knob there is a vacuum unit with a piston in it. There are two o-rings on the piston and the piston was broken allowing the o ring to mostly slip off the top of the piston and thus loose its seal. I have not yet found a source for buying the piston needed. Any ideas?
