How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before working near controls.
- Step 1 – Clean button area: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from around the button edges.
- Step 2 – Exercise the button: Press the button repeatedly to see if it frees up. Do not use excessive force.
- Step 3 – Inspect housing: Check for cracks or warping that may pinch the button.
- Step 4 – Internal switch replacement: If the button feels normal but does not register presses, the internal switch on the control PCB may be faulty and requires board or switch replacement.
Warning: Avoid using liquids or solvents around the buttons; they can seep inside and damage electronics.
