Possible Causes

Failed motor driver MOSFETs on main control PCB, Shorted main DC motor, Internal wiring harness damage between PCB and motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before opening any covers. Do not probe internal electronics while connected to power.

  • Rule out simple causes: Ensure the dust cup is installed correctly and filters are seated; some models will not run the motor if components are misaligned.
  • Check for burning smell or discoloration: Smell near the motor vents. If you detect a burnt odor or see melted plastic, do not attempt to run the vacuum again.
  • Visual inspection (if comfortable): Remove the dust cup and any accessible covers to visually inspect the main PCB area (without disassembling sealed sections). Look for burnt components or loose connectors.
  • Do not bypass safety circuits: If E6 remains, the motor or control board is likely damaged. Continued use can cause further damage or fire risk.
  • Service recommendation: Contact a qualified technician or Levoit support for main body replacement or control PCB/motor assembly service.
