Carpet cleaner does not stand upright securely; it tends to fall or the handle feels loose.

Safety: Unplug the unit before working on the handle.

• Inspect pivot area: Examine the handle base where it meets the body. Look for broken plastic or missing springs.
• Replace lock components: If the lock pawl or spring is damaged, replace the handle lock kit as specified for your Vileda model.
• Check for cracks: If the main pivot bracket is cracked, the handle or body shell may need replacement.
• Verify engagement: After repair, ensure the handle clicks firmly into the upright position and does not wobble excessively.
