Hamilton Beach Accessory Airflow Restriction

Cordless vacuum attachments (crevice tool, brush) have very weak suction compared to floor nozzle

Possible Causes

Clogged accessory tool, Partial blockage in accessory port, Air leak at accessory connection, Internal diverter valve issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery pack.

  • Test without tool: Remove the attachment and feel suction directly at the wand or accessory port. If strong, the tool is clogged.
  • Clean tools: Inspect the crevice tool and dusting brush for blockages and clean thoroughly.
  • Check seals: Ensure the accessory clicks firmly into place and that any rubber seals are intact.
  • Diverter valve: If suction is weak at the accessory port but strong at the nozzle, an internal diverter or selector may be stuck. This requires opening the body; seek service if cleaning external parts does not help.
