Possible Causes
Loose battery contacts, Worn wand electrical connectors, Broken internal wiring, Cracked PCB solder joints
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting connectors.
Steps:
- Check battery fit: Ensure the battery clicks firmly into place and does not wobble.
- Inspect connectors: Look at the electrical contacts between handheld, wand, and floorhead. Clean and gently adjust any slightly bent pins.
- Wiggle test: With the vacuum running (use caution), gently move the wand and accessories. If it cuts out when moved, the fault is likely in that section.
Replace the faulty wand, floorhead, or have the main unit inspected for cracked solder joints by a technician.
