Possible Causes

Blockage in accessory port, Cracked accessory tool, Poor seal between tool and wand, Internal diverter valve not fully switching

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before clearing blockages.

  • 1. Test suction at wand end: Remove all tools and feel suction directly at the wand. If strong, the issue is with the tools or tool port.
  • 2. Inspect accessory port: Look inside the port for debris or obstructions and clear them.
  • 3. Check tools for cracks: Examine each accessory for damage or gaps that could leak air.
  • 4. Ensure tight fit: Push tools firmly onto the wand until fully seated.
  • 5. Replace damaged tools: Order genuine Panasonic accessory tools if any are cracked or deformed.
