Donflem Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Does anyone know where the fuse is on the central vacuum in a 2007 dynasty? I looked in the closet and under the driver seat but I didn’t see it my vacuum doesn’t want to turn on. I would appreciate any help you guys might have.

DavidL Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Use a voltmeter and see if the vac motor is getting juice when the vac is turned on. If yes, then the motor is bad / stuck. If No, then look at the switch that turns it on. If that is good, then fuse. the question remains - why would the fuse blow? Above because you and I don't know where that silly fuse is. Does the vac run on 12 volts (fuse) or 110 volts (circuit breaker)? ie: if no 110volts available...have you been able to use the vac? on mine, nope. the Vac motor is 110 volts...so check circuit breakers. Below is a very popular central vac...note: there is an overheat protector that "self resets"...and it's 120 volts. " Dirt Devil® CV1500 Specifications: Model: Dirt Devil® CV1500 Weight: 14 lbs. Dimensions: 6.25" x 7" x 14.5" Voltage: 120 Volts (AC) Amperes: 11.7 Max Amps Motor: With overload and overheat protector, automatically resets when cooled" Edited January 29 by DavidL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Donohue Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 On my 2007 Dynasty, I went to the attachment point where you plug the hose in. Mine is in my bathroom. You will notice a metal band around the hose end that when plugged in, the electrical connection is made. I wiggled the hose as I pushed it into the attachment hole and it turned on. I then saw that the metal band was loose. So I folded a piece of paper and wedged it under the metal band to make it push tight against the electrical contacts. It’s been working fine ever since.

hbr509 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I had to do the same thing , You have to twist it so the metal band has contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Donohue Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I also purchased the inlet Valve(the part the hose plugs into). I noticed the spring contacts were weak so when I put the new one on, it contacted much better. Amazon #015235-024 Eureka standard inlet valve plate. $7.55.
