Although they’ve been out in other markets for several years, Samsung vacuums have
just arrived in the USA this year. The new SC-9670 Canister Vacuum is now making its
2012 debut. Below are some service cautions and disassembly/reassembly tips for the
vacuum’s Flexible hose with Control Handle.
First note that this unit is comprised of three serviceable sections: the Flexible hose with
Control Handle, the Canister, and the Power Brush assembly. There is also a telescopic
wand (pipe), however, it is replaced as an entire assembly and is not serviceable.
Flexible Hose w/Control Handle
The first thing you should be aware of is that the Flexible hose has two conductor pins at
each end which carry electrical power down to the Power Bush assembly. Be sure not
damage or break them during assembly/disassembly or the Power Brush assembly will
be unusable.
Second, the control handle uses RF technology to communicate with the canister’s control board. It has a built-in RF
transmitter and utilizes two “AA” batteries to operate properly. Should the unit appear non-operational, you should sus-
pect dead batteries. To replace them, locate the compartment access door on the front of the handle (Look for the Sam-
sung logo) and lift the tab to release the door. Replace the batteries, noting the proper polarity, and then replace the
door. See the pictures below for clarification.
