Possible Causes

Incorrect nozzle for hard floors, Worn or missing soft roller, Gaps between nozzle and floor, Low suction due to partial blockage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before changing accessories.

  • 1. Use correct nozzle: Ensure you are using the Panasonic soft roller or hard floor nozzle recommended for your model, not a carpet‑only head.
  • 2. Inspect soft roller: Check for wear, missing sections, or heavy contamination. Clean with a dry cloth and remove hair.
  • 3. Check nozzle seal to floor: Inspect the front and side squeegee strips. If they are damaged or missing, fine dust can escape.
  • 4. Verify suction strength: Test suction at the wand end. If weak, clean filters and check for blockages.
  • 5. Replace worn roller or nozzle: If the soft roller is worn or the nozzle housing is damaged, replace with a genuine Panasonic hard floor nozzle assembly.
