Possible Causes

Continuous use on thick carpets causing high load, Hair build-up in brush bar bearings, Failing brush motor in floorhead, Blocked air channels in floorhead

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and disconnect the floorhead before working on it.

  • Allow to cool: Let the floorhead cool for at least 20–30 minutes before further use.
  • Clean brush bar thoroughly: Remove the brush bar and clear all hair and fibres from the bristles and end caps. Ensure the bar spins freely.
  • Inspect air channels: Check the underside of the floorhead for blockages in the suction channel and around the brush motor housing.
  • Use appropriate power setting: On very thick carpets, use a lower power setting or reduce pressure on the head to avoid overloading the brush motor.
  • Replace floorhead if needed: If E14 recurs quickly even after cleaning and cooling, the brush motor's thermal protection may be tripping due to internal failure. Replace the motorised floorhead assembly.
