Possible Causes

Worn or flattened brush bristles, Incorrect nozzle for carpet type, Blocked nozzle air channel, Brush roll not rotating at full speed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the nozzle before inspection.

  • Step 1 – Inspect bristles: Check the AEG brush roll for worn, flattened, or missing bristles. If the bristles are very short or soft, replace the brush roll.
  • Step 2 – Clean nozzle channel: Remove any lint or hair from the suction opening and air channels in the nozzle.
  • Step 3 – Confirm brush rotation: Run the vacuum briefly and observe the brush roll (keep fingers clear). If it turns slowly or intermittently, clean and, if needed, replace the nozzle.
  • Step 4 – Use correct accessory: For deep carpets, use the dedicated AEG carpet nozzle if supplied, rather than a hard-floor roller.
