Oh my goodness! My vaccum cleaner stopped working/ wouldn’t switch on and I guessed it was full of dust, so I put in a new bag, but it still wouldn’t work. So my good friend L said she would try and fix it, she’s good at that kind of thing.

She looked at several YouTube videos and found out how to take the top cover off. Then you had to unscrew another cover to get to the switch….

The problem was the cover was held in place by Allen key. Hers would not fit. So she looked at more videos. Turned out you could gently prise the switch out of its hole to get under it. Dust and debris of rust was discovered. She was very good and brave because my cats have used the machine as A perch for years! I’m embarrassed to reveal how bad it was.

Anyway she gently cleaned it out and put it back together. Lo and behold it works!

So happy, doesn’t make up for the car but it’s saved me paying out a lot to repair it. X

Now I’ve asked if she can fix my kettle!?
