Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and ensure the cord is not live before handling.
- Free the cord: Pull the cord out fully and gently tug to see if it will retract. Sometimes a twist or minor knot can be freed by fully extending and then guiding the cord back in.
- Inspect for damage: Check the cord for cuts, flat spots, or melted areas that may be catching on the reel opening.
- Do not open the reel spring housing: The rewind spring is under tension and can cause injury if released improperly. If the reel does not retract after basic freeing attempts, the reel assembly should be replaced as a unit.
- Professional replacement: Have a technician replace the SEBO cord reel assembly if the spring is broken or the drum is damaged.
Never force the cord to retract by pushing it in; this can damage the reel and cord.
