Possible Causes

Clog inside wand, Crack in wand tube, Loose wand seals, Obstruction at wand‑nozzle junction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum before removing the wand or hose.

  • Check for clogs: Detach the wand and look through it toward a light source. Use a blunt rod to push out any blockage.
  • Inspect for cracks: Examine the wand for visible splits or holes that could cause air leaks.
  • Check seals: Inspect rubber seals at both ends of the wand. Replace if torn or missing.
  • Test without wand: Run the vacuum in handheld mode directly with a tool. If suction is strong, replace the wand if damage is found.
