Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before inspection.

  • Check for blockages: Detach wand and head, inspect all airways, and clear any obstructions.
  • Test body only: Run the vacuum with no wand or tools attached. If it still cuts out quickly, suspect battery or motor.
  • Try another battery: If available, test with a known‑good battery. If the problem disappears, replace the original battery.
  • Service motor/PCB: If cut‑outs persist with a good battery and clear airways, the motor or control board is likely faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
