Cecotec Worn Trigger Mechanism / Misaligned Microswitch

Vacuum trigger must be pressed very hard to start, or it only works when pressed at a certain angle.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Plastic trigger pivot worn, Microswitch actuator bent, Dust buildup around trigger, Cracked trigger lever

Safety first: Remove the battery before manipulating the trigger.

Step 1 – Clean around trigger: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from the trigger area.
Step 2 – Functional test: Press the trigger repeatedly and note if it improves slightly after cleaning.

If the trigger still requires excessive force or only works at certain angles, the handle assembly or trigger parts need replacement.
