How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery immediately if you hear grinding or burning smells. Do not continue to run the motor.
- Check for external obstructions: Remove the dust cup and inspect the motor inlet for foreign objects. Remove any debris carefully.
- Listen to motor alone: Run the vacuum briefly without the wand or floor head attached. If the grinding persists, the issue is inside the motor.
- Do not disassemble sealed motor: Levoit motors are typically not user‑serviceable. Attempting to open them can be dangerous.
- Replace motor assembly: Have a technician replace the main DC motor assembly or main body.
