Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the housing.
- Correct usage angle: Ensure you are operating the Vorwerk carpet cleaner within the recommended tilt range (usually near upright). Avoid using it on very steep inclines.
- Reset: Place the unit on a flat, level surface, switch it off, wait 1 minute, then power it back on.
- Inspect for impact damage: If the unit was dropped, internal sensors may have shifted. Check the housing for cracks or misalignment.
- Advanced: The tilt sensor (often a small PCB with a ball or MEMS sensor) can be inspected for loose mounting or broken wires. If damaged, replace the tilt sensor module.
