Possible Causes

Excessive restriction in air path during turbo, Weak battery unable to supply turbo current, Failing turbo control MOSFET on PCB, Overloaded motor bearings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before cleaning or inspection.

  • Reduce load: Ensure all filters are clean and the dust bin is empty. Test turbo mode with no accessories attached to minimize load.
  • Check battery health: If turbo works only with a freshly charged battery and fails quickly, the battery may be weak and need replacement.
  • Listen for motor noise: Unusual grinding or squealing in turbo mode suggests worn bearings, which increase load.
  • Service: If E13 appears even with clean filters and a new battery, the turbo control circuitry or motor is likely faulty and should be replaced.
