Possible Causes

Brush bar clogged on one side, Bent brush bar shaft, Debris stuck on motor fan, Damaged motor bearings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the floorhead.

  • Check brush bar balance: Remove the brush bar and clean it thoroughly. Inspect for warping or missing sections of bristles.
  • Test without floorhead: Run the handheld unit alone. If vibration disappears, the issue is in the floorhead or brush bar.
  • Replace brush bar or floorhead: If the brush bar is bent or damaged, replace it. If vibration persists with a new bar, replace the floorhead assembly.
  • Motor vibration: If vibration is present even without the floorhead, the main motor fan or bearings are likely damaged and the motor assembly should be replaced.
