Unit shuts down shortly after start, E09 displayed, strong burning smell may be present

Safety: Immediately unplug the cleaner if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not attempt to restart.

• Inspect for water leaks: Check around the motor housing for signs of water. If the dirty water tank or seals have leaked, dry the area thoroughly and identify the source of the leak.
• Check suppression capacitor: Locate the motor suppression capacitor (often near the motor terminals). Look for bulging, cracking, or leakage. Replace if defective.
• Test motor windings: With a multimeter, measure resistance across the motor terminals. A very low resistance (near short) or visible burn marks indicate a failed motor.
• Inspect wiring: Examine the motor wiring harness for melted insulation or exposed copper. Repair or replace the harness as needed.

Because this fault involves potential fire risk, replacement of the complete motor assembly by a professional is strongly recommended.
