Possible Causes

Uneven debris on brushroll, Bent brush bar, Foreign object in motor fan, Loose motor mount screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before inspecting rotating parts.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • 1. Clean brushroll thoroughly: Remove all hair and debris from the brushroll, especially if it is concentrated on one side.
  • 2. Check for bending: Roll the brush bar on a flat surface. If it wobbles, it is bent and should be replaced.
  • 3. Isolate source: Run the handheld unit without the wand and head. If vibration persists, the main motor fan may be damaged or unbalanced.

Replace the brushroll or motor assembly as needed. Persistent vibration can shorten the life of the vacuum and should not be ignored.
