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.
