How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before inspection.

  • Clean vents: Brush dust from all external vents and grills.
  • Check filters: Ensure only the correct filters are fitted and not stacked incorrectly, which can restrict airflow.
  • Reduce duty cycle: Allow the machine to rest between heavy wet pickup sessions.
  • Inspect motor: If the motor is noisy or hot to touch, consider replacing the suction motor assembly.
