Rainbow E series Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Janice and Momodo. Use a wrench or pliers to remove the nut. Before you replace it, put Vaseline on the threads. It will be much easier to remove next time.

Take the hose and put it on the back were your machine blows than put the sprayer or foamer on and it will spray

There probably is a locked up bearing. It is not a good idea to try to keep trying to run the unit. It will only cause further damage.

Your Rainbow E series has lost suction power, because you need a new hepa filter, ot your water basin gasket is messed up, or the center motor gasket is messed up or out of position.

Make sure your water basin is not cracked or broken, also.

If you have any more questions let me know. I am a Rainbow seller, and a Rainbow expert also.

Thank you,

Could be switch, cord or motor. If the switch has alot of play it is usually bad. Check cord for damage.

Could be several things. Bad switch (does it have a lot of play in it) Bad cord , check for damage. Or bad motor.

You put hose on rear of unit and use the inflator tool. Be sure and replace rear cover when finished.

Could be several things. Bad cord, bad receptacle on rainbow or bad motor on power head.

Gasket is not sealing tight.

Locked up bearing.

Check bearings on beater bar and stem on motor. Use your finger to make sure they all roll smoothly and if they are very noisey. If any of these are bad the unit will shut down.

Pump may be bad but check the lines to make sure they are not clogged.

Try putting on a new belt.

You may have damaged a bearing or bearing housing and that could be causing the motor armature and field to rub together which in turn causes the motor to draw a significantly increased current to overcome the friction. It could be a simple fix if it is a bearing but if it is the housing then it is likely toast. I used to repair motors years ago and the cost then was not bad. However if the motor is heat damaged, as happened to my power rack last year, it was cheaper to buy a new one than replace the motor. A burned out motor is not worth repairing these days.
