Possible Causes

Worn brushroll bristles, Incorrect floorhead height for carpet, Blocked front intake on floorhead, Air leak at floorhead neck

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and remove the battery before inspecting the floorhead.

  • Step 1 – Inspect brushroll: Check bristle length and stiffness. If bristles are worn down or matted, replace the brushroll.
  • Step 2 – Clear front intake: Remove any fibers or debris from the front edge of the floorhead and side channels.
  • Step 3 – Check floorhead seal: Inspect the rubber squeegee or seal at the rear of the floorhead. Replace if torn or missing.
  • Step 4 – Use correct mode: Ensure the Jimmy vacuum is in carpet mode or higher power when cleaning carpets.
  • Step 5 – Replace floorhead: If performance remains poor, replace the Jimmy motorized floorhead assembly.
