Possible Causes

Normal soft‑stop behavior, Sticky power button, Faulty power latch circuit on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If the vacuum does not stop at all when commanded, remove the battery immediately.

  • 1. Understand normal behavior: Many Panasonic cordless vacuums ramp down slowly and may run for 1–3 seconds after releasing the button. This is normal.
  • 2. Check for excessive delay: If the vacuum runs significantly longer or does not stop, the power button may be sticking. Clean around the button with a dry cloth.
  • 3. Power reset: Remove the battery for a few minutes, then reinstall and test.
  • 4. Persistent run‑on or failure to stop: Indicates a fault in the power latch circuit or switch. Professional service is required to replace the handle switch PCB or main PCB.
