How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the Husqvarna carpet cleaner before opening any housings.
- Inspect handle cable: Check the flexible cable or harness running from the handle to the main body for cuts, kinks, or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
- Reseat connectors: Open the handle and main body to access the small communication connectors. Unplug and replug them to clean contacts.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of water or detergent inside the handle. Dry thoroughly and clean any corrosion with isopropyl alcohol. If corrosion is severe, replace the handle PCB.
- Firmware reset/update: If your Husqvarna model supports it, perform a factory reset or firmware update according to the service manual.
