Hi,
I have a Henry HVR200-22 that has a problem with the hi-lo speed functionality... I know these are notorious for developing faults, but my situation seems a little bit more unique and I can't find any similar cases online.
My Henry works absolutely fine in "Hi" mode, no problems vacuuming for prolonged periods. However as soon as I switch to "Low" mode the motor immediately steps down to lower suction (great!) but then carries on slowly winding down over the next 60 seconds or so, to the point where it just grinds to a halt and stops dead. Switching it back to "Hi" mode immediately fires it back up again, but I'm keen on reviving use of the "Lo" power function.
I took Henry's head apart and found the 2-speed PCB... it's one of the older 2-terminal "v1.01" boards with a green back (#206606). This particular model of Henry is one with a plain green Hi-Lo rocker switch (i.e. no LED).
I'm just wondering if the PCB or switch is likely to be the issue given the strange symptoms, or something else entirely?! I know it's a really old model (2004?) but was in storage for a very long time so seen very little use and only spotted this issue when I started using it again recently.
Any help/guidance on where to start troubleshooting would be very much appreciated!
