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.
