Possible Causes

Warped or bent brushroll, Uneven bristle wear, Debris packed on one side of brush, Loose nozzle or housing screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cleaner before turning it over.

  • Inspect brushroll: Remove the nozzle cover and spin the brushroll by hand. Look for wobble or uneven bristle height.
  • Clean thoroughly: Remove all debris from the brush and end caps. Packed debris can create imbalance.
  • Check mounting points: Ensure the brushroll is seated correctly in its bearings and that the nozzle screws are tight.
  • Replace brushroll: If the brush is visibly warped or still causes vibration after cleaning, replace the brushroll assembly.
