How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before opening any housings.
Steps to try:
- Power reset: Remove the battery for 5 minutes, then reinstall and try again. This can clear transient sensor faults.
- Check body-to-nozzle connection: Remove the wand and nozzle, then reattach firmly. Some Eureka cordless models use contact pins that must align correctly.
- Inspect for physical damage: Look for cracks in the housing, especially around the handle and battery compartment. If the unit was dropped, internal boards may be cracked.
- Open handle housing (advanced): If comfortable, remove screws from the handle/main body shell and gently separate. Check all connectors between the trigger board, main PCB, and sensor leads. Reseat any loose plugs.
- Replace damaged PCB: If you see burnt components or cracked boards, replace the main control PCB or handle PCB as a complete assembly.
