Possible Causes

Worn motor bearings, Debris sucked into motor fan chamber, Imbalanced motor fan, Loose motor mounting screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum, remove the battery, and do not run the unit if grinding is severe.

  • Step 1 – Eliminate external causes: Remove the floor head and wand, then run the vacuum in handheld mode. If the noise remains, it is from the main body.
  • Step 2 – Check for loose parts: Gently shake the main body (battery removed) and listen for loose pieces inside.

Main motor and fan issues require disassembly of the sealed motor housing. This is not recommended for untrained users. Replace the motor assembly or main body through an authorized service center.
