Possible Causes

Dry or worn brushroll end bearings, Hair wrapped under bearing caps, Dust ingress into bearing surfaces

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the floor head.

  • Step 1 – Remove brushroll: Take out the brushroll and remove end caps (if removable).
  • Step 2 – Clean bearings: Remove hair and dust from the bearing area.
  • Step 3 – Light lubrication (if allowed): Apply a tiny drop of light machine oil to the bearing shaft, avoiding plastic parts. Not all models support lubrication; check the manual.

If squealing continues or the bearings feel rough, replace the brushroll assembly.
