How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and ensure the vacuum is powered off before inspecting the latch.

Steps to try:

  • Inspect latch: Examine the plastic latch on the battery and the corresponding catch in the handle. Look for cracks or missing pieces.
  • Clear debris: Remove any dust or debris from the latch area that may prevent full engagement.
  • Test fit: Insert the battery firmly until you hear a click. Gently tug to confirm it is secure.
  • Replace damaged parts: Replace the battery if its latch is broken. If the handle housing is damaged, the main body/handle assembly will need replacement.
