Possible Causes

Thermal cut-out activating due to partially clogged filters, Loose battery contacts causing momentary power loss, Cracked solder joint on main PCB, Wand connection intermittently breaking power to head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting connections.

  • Step 1 – Clean filters and bin: Ensure all filters and the cyclone are clean to reduce motor load and heat.
  • Step 2 – Inspect battery fit: Wiggle the battery gently when installed. If there is play, check for worn latches or deformed contacts.
  • Step 3 – Test without wand: Use the vacuum in handheld mode only. If the issue disappears, the wand or head connection may be loose.

If intermittent shutoffs continue after cleaning and reseating, internal wiring or PCB faults are likely and require professional repair.
