Possible Causes

Loose battery connection, Damaged wiring in handle or wand, Faulty tilt or pressure sensor, Blockage shifting inside wand

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before inspecting connections.

  • Check battery fit: Ensure the battery clicks firmly into place with no movement.
  • Inspect wand and tools: Look for loose joints or cracks that might open when tilted, causing air leaks or electrical disconnection.
  • Test without wand: Use the vacuum with a direct tool attached to the main body. If the issue disappears, the wand or tool is at fault.
  • Replace faulty component: Replace the loose wand or tool. If the main body still cuts out at angles, internal wiring or sensors may be faulty and require professional repair.
