Possible Causes

Loose brush roller end caps, Broken internal nozzle clips, Debris trapped in wheel housings, Worn nozzle pivot joint

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the nozzle.

  • Check brush roller fit: Remove and reinstall the roller, ensuring end caps are properly seated and locked.
  • Inspect wheels: Spin the front and rear wheels. Remove hair or debris wrapped around axles. Replace wheels if cracked.
  • Check pivot joint: Wiggle the nozzle where it connects to the wand. Excessive play may indicate worn bushings or a cracked joint; replace the nozzle or wand as needed.
  • Look for loose parts: Shake the nozzle gently and listen for internal rattling. If internal clips are broken, the nozzle may need replacement.
