Vacuum powers on but shuts off after a few seconds with no error code; may restart if power button is pressed again.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose battery latch, Worn battery contacts, Cracked solder joints on main PCB, Failing power switch

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.

Check battery latch: Confirm the battery locks securely and does not wiggle. Replace the latch or housing if broken.
Clean contacts: Wipe battery and vacuum contacts with a dry cloth. Look for pitting or burn marks.
Tap test: With the vacuum running, gently tap the handle and battery area. If it shuts off, there is likely a loose internal connection.
Service needed: Internal solder repairs on the PCB or switch replacement require disassembly and should be done by a technician.
