Burning smell during use, especially from motor area

Safety: Immediately switch off and unplug the unit. Do not continue to operate with a burning smell.

• Check for blockages: Inspect hoses, filters, and floorhead for obstructions that could overload the motor.
• Inspect belt and brush: Remove the brush cover and check if the belt is melted or the brush is jammed. Replace belt and clear jams.
• Look for discoloration: Open the motor compartment and inspect wiring and connectors for burn marks or melted insulation.
• Do not ignore persistent smell: If the smell returns quickly or you see smoke, the motor windings may be failing. Replace the motor assembly and have wiring inspected by a professional.
