How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and wait 5 minutes before opening the main body. This repair involves internal electrical components.

  • External checks first: Confirm that the dust bin and filters are correctly installed and that any safety interlock switches are engaged. Some models will not run if the bin is removed.
  • Inspect internal connections (advanced): If comfortable and out of warranty, remove the screws on the main body housing and carefully separate the halves. Locate the motor assembly and follow its wiring to the main PCB. Ensure all connectors are fully seated.
  • Visual inspection: Look for burn marks, melted plastic, or a burnt smell around the motor or PCB. These indicate component failure.
  • Reassembly: If no obvious damage is found and connectors were loose, reseat them, reassemble the housing, reinstall the battery, and test.
  • Motor/PCB replacement: If E10 persists, the motor or PCB is likely defective. Replacement of these parts is complex and usually best handled by a service center.
