Possible Causes

Clogged wand tube, Blocked swivel neck on floor head, Cracked wand, Loose wand-to-head connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before clearing blockages.

  • Test handheld suction: Remove the wand and floor head. Turn on the vacuum (briefly) to confirm strong suction at the handheld inlet.
  • Inspect wand: Look through the wand against a light source. Use a flexible rod to push out any debris.
  • Check floor head neck: Inspect the swivel neck where the wand connects for clogs or trapped objects.
  • Inspect for cracks: Look for splits or holes in the wand or head that could cause air leaks. Replace damaged parts.
  • Secure connections: Reattach the wand and head firmly until they click. Test suction again.
