Jamie,
On our vacuum there is a hose on the back that the user inserts into a hole to cause the suction to go down to the beater bar. When that hose is disconnected it acts as the hand tool hose. Win pulled that hose apart and dropped the vitamin E bottle down the hole. The bottle being the perfect diameter to fit in the hole slid neatly into the vacuum until it reached a slight curve where it was lodged. Because it was in a curve I couldn’t see it. But because the bottle is clear, light could get through it and I thought that the hose was not blocked. I discovered the bottle when I started probing with a large screwdriver and it was hitting something.
Our vacuum was kind of on the fritz anyway and needed a little work so taking it apart was kind of a two for one. Basically the switch had broken so we just connected the wires. Now I just plug it in or out to turn it on or off. I know that switches are easy to install. But there are lots of easy things in life that I just never get around to.
