Hi Provac,
Thanks for the suggestions. The Z8240 has two lights on the main body.
Normally when it works as it should, the blue light comes on and it acts as power on indicator. It has Power on controls on the handle.
The problem with mine is that as it was working, it started to choke, and I turned it off as fast as I could - there was some electrical smell as well.
I cleaned the filters on it, and the motor attempted to start again and it again started to choke and shut down - felt like it was protecting itself from overheating.
I tried to find some circuit description of it - but no luck - I think it has 3 circuit boards in it - or so I was told by the vac tech that repaired it last time.
Any suggestions would be welcome
