I have a Electrolux Epic 6500 ?

When I turn on my sweeper the light comes on that the bag is full and I have a new bag in the sweeper, can someone help me?

Here's one solution: there is a small hole in the back of the bag compartment. So, remove the bag, and look on the right side of the very back panel of the bag compartment, and find that little hole. It is the size of a pin, or so. Believe it or not, if you plug or otherwise seal that hole, it will fix the bag full problem. However, it will also never alert you when the bag really is full. But, this is still easier than taking the vacuum apart. Please email stegenkj@hotmail.com with success story or more questions.

The problem you're having requires disassembly of the machine and checking three areas: the bag safety switch, the secondary safety switch, and the pressure valve. You will need to have it repaired by someone with knowledge of these vacs. There are ways to work around the interlock switches, but it would involve changing some wiring, which is not recommended.
