How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the Husqvarna carpet cleaner before inspecting the underside.

  • Adjust brush height: If equipped, raise the brush setting for thick or high-pile carpets.
  • Inspect wheels: Check that front and rear wheels spin freely. Remove hair and debris from axles; replace seized wheels.
  • Check nozzle edge: Smooth any rough plastic edges on the nozzle lip or replace the nozzle if badly worn.
  • Verify suction vent: Some models have a suction relief vent. Ensure it is not fully closed on thick carpets.
