Oreck XL Commercial Sensor Override

[squid]

New to the board, hello!

I have an Oreck XL Commercial vacuum and the sensor that works with the embedded magnet in the brush roller no longer functions. The machine will not work without the magnet in the roller. Oreck says they are back ordered indefinitely and offered me 10% off of a new vacuum and told me to recycle mine, I kid you not!

Does anyone know how to override that worthless sensor? A regular brush roller is, unfortunately, not the solution.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how you would override it.

but you should be able to find an oreck hall effect sensor elsewhere

I'm assuming he has proper brushrolls....the hall sensor (or brain) is not picking up the magnet....




and several reviewers mention these not having the magnets

I assume this is the Leed complient model?

Maybe replace the two speed switch

Here is a picture of my sensor along with the embedded magnet on the roller. It looks to be a different hall effect sensor and I cannot seem to locate it anywhere. I tried running the vacuum with the sensor removed, but still no luck. I was hoping I could solder the wires in a way to override the sensor altogether, but I am not tech savvy enough to know how to do that.

What model is your vacuum?

 

[Nomad74]

Yup, looks like it would fit perfectly in the trash

With a volt meter you should be able to figure out which wire you would need to short and overide the sensor.

 

[Clean Response]

our you could try without I doubt you would fry anything. Use a paper clip and touch 2 of the contacts of the wires.

Target still sells Sharks vacuums.

Target still sells Sharks vacuums.

You are going to hell with gasoline draws on! Do they sell extended warranty like Best Buy?

darned overengineering !!

Just in case anyone else hits this problem cut the wires off the sensor and short out the red and the black wires leave the white disconnected.
No sensor now but works and with regular brushes.
Tada.
