Vorwerk Mechanical Brush Drive Failure Without Detection

Brush does not rotate, but no error code is shown; suction works normally.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken brush belt (if belt-driven), Disconnected brush motor plug, Worn brush motor carbon brushes, Failed brush on/off switch

Safety: Unplug the unit before working on the brush system.

Check brush switch: Ensure the brush on/off control is set to ON and not in a delicate floor mode.
Inspect belt: Remove the brush cover and check for a broken or slipped belt. Replace with a genuine Vorwerk belt if needed.
Check motor connection: Verify the brush motor connector is firmly seated.
Motor wear: If the motor hums but does not turn, or if it starts then stops, the motor brushes may be worn and the motor assembly should be replaced.
