Hello Guys, my vacuum is out of warranty and the high suction warning flap inside the unit is acting up. I want to open it to check it and eventually fix it, but one screw obviously :vs_mad: requires a special tool. It's hard to see it because it is located in the deep hole. It looks like a star, but isn't. Any idea? Thank a lot in advance.

Hard to tell from your photo, but it looks like it might be a allen (hex) head screw with a security pin in the center.
Get yourself a set if screwdriver bits like the one below and it will probably have what you need.

What have you done so far to correct this?
It most instances you have either a clogged hose or clogged filter.
You shouldn't need to dismantle it to fix either condition.

Hello Guys,
No it's not a security head screw, there is no pin in the middle. I know those screws from the low voltage installations, I'd recognize it. It looks almost like a rivet with a half sphere drilled in it. Very strange.
In terms of correcting things, everything has been done, I cleaned the hose, the canister (it's a bagless cyclone unit), everything. And it happens when I cover the main intake into the vacuum , so it's definitely an inside affair. Just FYI, I am not some lumber Jack (no ofense lumber Jacks...), I fix stuff on the regular basis.

You can only wonder why they don't want you in there... always makes me more determined than ever. Does it look like below? I think you already nixed the security screw idea but it won't hurt you to look.
