Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the vacuum OFF, remove the battery, and do not charge if there are signs of liquid damage.

  • Step 1 – Inspect for physical damage: Check the handle and motor housing for cracks or gaps from a fall. If the casing is broken, internal boards may be damaged.
  • Step 2 – Look for moisture: If the vacuum was used on wet surfaces or exposed to spills, do not power it on. Let it dry in a warm, dry room for 48 hours with the battery removed.
  • Step 3 – Reseat external connectors: Disconnect and reconnect the wand and all powered attachments to ensure good contact.
  • Step 4 – Limited user access: Most Camry cordless vacuums do not allow safe user access to the internal control PCB. Do not open the main body unless you are qualified; this may void warranty.
  • When to stop: Persistent E8 indicates a fault in the Camry main control PCB or motor driver. This requires professional disassembly and board replacement.
