My Vacuflow 560 Central Vacuum quit working abruptly and I found an easy repair. There's a little plastic breaker in there that failed and its a pretty easy fix.
The first step was to determine if the breaker really was the problem. I replaced to motor about a year ago (here's a link to that video: • Replacing a Motor on a... ) and really doubted that it had failed again. So I wired around the breaker and, sure enough, the vacuum came right on.
In the fine print on the breaker was the name "Snap Action". I Googled it (to make it easy, here's a link to their website :www.snapaction....) and found my switch. The switch description said it was guaranteed for life, I didn't expect this one would be, but I e-mailed the company to order another one and they confirmed...they'd replace it for free.
Now, I did have to pay postage on the failed switch and send it back to them and provide a postage-paid envelope to get a new switch to me, but in about ten days, I had the switch, put it in, and the vacuum is working like a new one!
I hope your fix is as easy as mine was!
