How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately remove the battery and unplug the charger. Do not attempt to restart the vacuum. Risk of fire.

  • 1. Ventilate area: Move the vacuum to a non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area and allow it to cool completely.
  • 2. Visual inspection: Once cool, open the main body and inspect for burnt components, melted plastic, or charred wiring. Do not touch any burnt components with bare hands.
  • 3. Identify source: If the motor casing is discolored or smells strongly burnt, replace the motor assembly. If the PCB has burnt areas, replace the entire PCB.
  • 4. Do not bypass safety devices: Never bypass fuses or thermal cut-outs. Replace with identical rated components only.
  • 5. Professional service: Due to fire risk and the likelihood of multiple damaged parts, E17 faults should generally be handled by a qualified technician.
