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.
