Brush overload error; brush stops and E06 appears, often when cleaning thick carpets

Safety: Unplug the carpet cleaner before accessing the brush area.

• Clear brush roller: Turn the unit over and remove the bottom plate. Cut away hair, threads, and fibres wrapped around the Zanussi brush bar and end caps.
• Check brush bearings: Remove the brush bar and spin the end caps by hand. If they feel rough or seized, replace the brush bar assembly.
• Inspect drive belt: Examine the belt for cracks, glazing, or stretching. Replace if worn or loose. Ensure the belt is correctly routed around the motor pulley and brush pulley.
• Adjust height: If your model has a carpet height selector, set it to a higher position for deep pile carpets to reduce load on the brush.
• Reset and test: Reassemble, plug in, and reset the error (usually by switching off and on). Test on a small area of carpet and monitor for recurrence.
