Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery pack before opening any covers. Do not operate the vacuum if you see exposed or damaged wiring.
- Step 1 – Reseat battery: Remove the battery and reinstall it firmly until it clicks. Check that there is no play in the connection.
- Step 2 – Visual inspection: Look for obvious cracks in the housing or signs of impact. If the vacuum was dropped, internal components may have shifted.
- Step 3 – Check external connectors: Inspect the contacts between the main body and any detachable wand or motorized head. Clean them with a dry cloth.
- Step 4 – Power reset: Leave the battery out for 5 minutes, then reinstall and try again.
- Step 5 – Internal inspection (only if allowed by manual): If your Bomann model allows user access to the motor compartment, carefully remove the screws and open the housing. Check that all plug-in connectors on the main PCB are fully seated. Do not touch bare solder joints or components.
If E7 remains after reseating connectors and performing a reset, the main PCB or internal sensor network is likely damaged. Professional diagnosis and PCB replacement are recommended.
