How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the nozzle or brush.

  • Clean nozzle: Remove the nozzle and rinse thoroughly under warm water. Use a soft brush to remove buildup along the suction slot.
  • Inspect brush bristles: If bristles are worn down or uneven, replace the brushroll assembly.
  • Check nozzle seating: Reinstall the nozzle, ensuring it snaps fully into place and sits evenly across the floorhead.
  • Clean spray jets: Use a pin to clear each spray jet so solution is applied evenly across the cleaning path.
