How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before opening any covers.
- Identify noise source: Run the unit briefly and listen to locate whether noise comes from the motor area, brush area, or hose.
- Inspect brush and nozzle: Remove the nozzle and brush roll. Clear any foreign objects and check for cracks or missing pieces. Replace damaged parts.
- Check fasteners: Tighten all accessible screws securing the motor, housing, and nozzle.
- Motor bearing check: With the unit unplugged, spin the motor fan by hand (if accessible). Roughness or grinding indicates worn bearings; the motor assembly should be replaced.
