Brushes do not rotate; display shows E3 or brush icon flashes while suction still works.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near the brush area.

• Check for jams: Turn the unit over and remove the brush access cover. Remove hair, threads, and debris wrapped around the brush roll and end caps. Ensure the brush spins freely by hand.
• Inspect the belt: If your Electrolux model uses a belt, check if the belt is broken, stretched, or off the pulley. Replace with the correct Electrolux brush belt if damaged.
• Test brush motor: Locate the brush motor (often near the front nozzle). Check the wiring connector for secure fit. If accessible, apply a low test voltage per service manual or test continuity of the motor windings with a multimeter.
• Reset brush overload: Some models have a brush overload reset button near the nozzle. Press it firmly and try again.
• Control board check: If the motor and belt are good but E3 persists, the brush motor driver circuit on the main PCB may be faulty and require board replacement.
