If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Remove the battery pack before any inspection.
Basic checks:
- Inspect the vacuum body for signs of liquid damage (stains, corrosion around vents). If the unit was used to pick up liquids, stop using it immediately.
- Check visible wiring between the handle, battery compartment, and motor housing for cuts or loose connectors (if accessible without disassembly beyond what the user manual allows).
If no obvious external issue is found, E6 typically indicates an internal electronics failure on the main PCB. User-level repair is not recommended due to high-voltage components in the charger interface and complex control circuits. Contact an authorized Gorenje service center for diagnosis and possible PCB replacement.
