Cordless vacuum will not stand upright or the handle feels loose

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before inspecting the hinge or handle.

• Inspect latch: Check the upright lock or latch mechanism for broken plastic tabs or springs.
• Check hinge: Examine the pivot area for cracks or missing pins. Tighten any accessible screws.
• Avoid forcing: Do not force the handle upright if it resists; this can worsen damage.
• Replace assembly: If the latch or hinge is broken, the handle or main body housing may need replacement. This typically requires partial disassembly and should be done by a technician if you are not comfortable with mechanical repairs.
