Possible Causes
Loose dock power connector, Broken dock charging contacts, Faulty dock internal wiring, Misaligned vacuum-to-dock contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dock’s power adapter from the wall before inspection.
- Step 1 – Check power adapter: Confirm the adapter is firmly plugged into both the wall and the dock.
- Step 2 – Inspect contacts: Look at the metal contacts on the dock and on the vacuum. Clean with a dry cloth.
- Step 3 – Check alignment: Mount the vacuum on the dock and ensure it sits fully in place. Adjust the dock mounting height if necessary.
- Step 4 – Test adapter directly: If your model allows, plug the adapter directly into the vacuum. If it charges, the dock itself is faulty and should be replaced.
Warning: Do not attempt to open the dock’s power adapter; replace it if defective.
