Possible Causes

Incorrect or empty Vorwerk detergent cartridge, Dirty cartridge contacts, Faulty cartridge sensor, Non-genuine cartridge not recognized

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cleaner before handling the cartridge bay.

  • Check cartridge: Ensure you are using a compatible Vorwerk detergent cartridge and that it is not empty.
  • Clean contacts: Wipe the electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the cartridge bay with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Reinsert cartridge: Install the cartridge firmly until it clicks into place.
  • Test without cartridge: If the model allows operation without a cartridge, remove it and test. If E11 disappears, the cartridge or its sensor is at fault.
  • Replace sensor: If multiple new cartridges are not recognized, the cartridge sensor module may need replacement.
