Possible Causes

Dirty or bent accessory detection pins, Faulty accessory (e.g., motorised mini turbo brush), Damaged wiring in wand, Faulty main PCB accessory detection circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting electrical connectors.

Steps:

  • Clean contacts: On the handheld unit, wand, and powered accessories, clean the metal contacts with a dry cloth. Remove any dust or oxidation.
  • Inspect pins: Look for bent or recessed pins in the connectors. Carefully straighten slightly bent pins with small pliers.
  • Test accessories individually: Connect each powered accessory (e.g., motorised pet tool) directly to the handheld unit, bypassing the wand, to see if E9 appears with a specific tool.
  • Check wand continuity (if accessible): If the wand has visible wiring, inspect for cuts or crush damage.

If E9 only occurs with one accessory: Replace that accessory. If it occurs with all, the wand or main PCB may be faulty and require professional service.
