Display shows E05 and suction motor does not start or stops shortly after starting

Safety: Unplug the Husqvarna carpet cleaner. Suction motors can get very hot; allow cooling before touching.

• Check for blockages: Remove the recovery tank and inspect the suction inlet, hose, and nozzle for clogs. Use a flexible brush to clear debris from the Husqvarna suction channel.
• Clean filters: Many Husqvarna carpet cleaners have pre-motor and post-motor filters. Remove and wash foam filters with mild detergent, then air-dry completely. Replace HEPA or paper filters if heavily soiled or damaged.
• Inspect exhaust vents: Ensure the exhaust grille is not blocked by dust or placed against a wall during use, which can cause overheating.
• Test motor rotation: Access the suction motor compartment. Spin the motor fan by hand (from the intake side) to check for binding. If stiff or noisy, the motor bearings may be failing and the motor should be replaced.
• Thermal reset: Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes, then retry. If E05 recurs quickly, suspect a failing motor or control board overcurrent sensor.
