Possible Causes
Debris stuck in motor fan, Damaged or bent fan blades, Loose motor mounts, Unbalanced brushroll
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery pack before inspecting.
- Step 1 – Check brushroll balance: Remove the floorhead and run the vacuum as a handheld. If vibration disappears, the issue is in the floorhead. Inspect and clean the brushroll; replace if warped.
- Step 2 – Inspect motor area: If vibration persists without the floorhead, the main motor or fan is likely imbalanced. Check for rattling panels or loose screws on the main body and tighten as needed.
- Step 3 – Internal fan check (advanced): Open the motor housing and inspect the fan for missing pieces or debris. Replace the motor/fan assembly if damaged.
Warning: Excessive vibration can cause further damage and should not be ignored.
