Possible Causes
Partially clogged filters causing mild overcurrent, Loose battery connection, Failing battery cells under load, Weak main motor brushes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning or inspection.
- Clean filters and dust cup: Empty the dust cup and clean all filters thoroughly as per Levoit instructions. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstalling.
- Check battery fit: Inspect the battery latch and rails. Ensure the battery does not wobble when installed.
- Test runtime on low power: Run the vacuum on the lowest setting. If it runs longer on low but shuts off quickly on high, the battery may be weak.
- Try a different battery (if available): If the vacuum runs normally with another battery, replace the original pack.
- If issue persists with good battery and clean filters: The main motor may be failing and should be replaced by a technician.
