Possible Causes
Broken internal wiring from dock contacts to battery, Faulty charge control PCB in handheld unit, Damaged dock contacts, Misalignment on stand
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the charging stand from the mains before inspection.
- Step 1 – Verify external charger: Confirm that the external battery charger works correctly by charging the battery outside the vacuum.
- Step 2 – Inspect dock contacts: Check the contacts on the stand and on the vacuum handle. Clean gently and ensure they are not bent.
- Step 3 – Check seating: Place the vacuum carefully on the stand and ensure it is fully engaged. Watch for any charging indicator.
- Step 4 – If still no charge via dock: The internal charge path or PCB inside the handheld unit is likely faulty. Continue using the external charger if available, and arrange professional repair if you require dock charging.
