Possible Causes

Broken brush end cap, Foreign object inside nozzle housing, Worn or broken nozzle wheels, Loose internal screws in nozzle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the nozzle.

  • Open nozzle: Remove the brush roll and inspect the interior for small objects (stones, screws, toys).
  • Check wheels: Spin the front and rear wheels. Replace the nozzle if wheels are broken or seized.
  • Inspect brush ends: Ensure end caps are intact and not cracked.

If internal plastic parts are broken or the housing is cracked, replacing the entire motorized nozzle is usually the most effective repair.
