Possible Causes

Worn brushroll bristles, Incorrect floor head height, Brushroll not spinning at full speed, Blocked suction channel at nozzle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before working on the floor head.

Steps to improve pickup:

  • 1. Clean brushroll: Remove the brushroll and clear all hair and fibers. Ensure bristles are not matted down.
  • 2. Inspect bristle wear: If bristles are worn short or uneven, replace the brushroll with a new Hoover Candy brush bar designed for your model.
  • 3. Check nozzle channel: Look into the suction channel behind the brushroll for blockages and remove any debris.
  • 4. Verify brush speed: With the battery refitted, run the vacuum and observe the brushroll. If it turns slowly or intermittently, the motorized head may be failing and should be replaced.
