Possible Causes
Debris in motor fan, Worn bearings in main suction motor, Loose fan impeller, Damaged brush roll bearings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery or disconnect from charger before inspection.
- Step 1 – Isolate the source: Run the vacuum briefly without the motorised nozzle. If the noise disappears, the issue is in the nozzle. If it remains, the main motor is suspect. Switch OFF after testing.
- Step 2 – Check brush roll bearings: Remove the brush roll and spin it by hand. Replace the brush roll if it feels rough or noisy.
- Step 3 – Inspect for foreign objects: Look into the air inlet of the handheld unit for small objects contacting the fan. Remove any visible debris with a non-metallic tool.
- Step 4 – Evaluate motor noise: If the grinding or rumbling comes from inside the handheld unit and persists, the motor bearings are likely worn.
- Step 5 – Motor replacement: The main motor assembly in AEG cordless vacuums is not typically user-serviceable. Contact an authorised service center for motor replacement.
