Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery pack before inspecting or attempting to clean around the trigger.
- Step 1 – Visual inspection: Look around the trigger area for visible debris or damage. Gently clean with a dry brush.
- Step 2 – Function test: With the battery installed, briefly test the trigger. If it does not return or fails to start the vacuum, remove the battery again.
- Step 3 – Avoid force: Do not force the trigger; this can break internal parts.
Trigger springs and microswitches are internal components. If the trigger feels loose or non-functional, the handle assembly or trigger mechanism should be replaced by a technician.
