Possible Causes

Worn motor bearings, Cracked fan housing, Missing or damaged seals, Blockage causing turbulent airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before disassembly.

  • 1. Compare with and without accessories: Run the vacuum (briefly) without wand or nozzle. If noise drops significantly, the issue is in the accessories.
  • 2. Check for blockages: Inspect wand and nozzle for obstructions that could cause whistling or roaring sounds.
  • 3. Inspect seals and housing: Look for missing seals or cracks around the motor housing and bin connection.
  • 4. Motor assessment: If the loud noise comes from the motor area and has a grinding or screeching tone, the motor bearings are likely worn. Replace the motor assembly.
